1．Music is often thought of as "easy" or "play time"，but it's not that at all.Music plays a very important part in our education.
Students who learn music learn a lot of music history at school.This includes "modes（調(diào)式）"，which were used in churches during the development of music.They are still used today.Students learn about the historical events that were taking place when the music they play was written.They learn what the music was used for.So much of our culture is in music and has been for centuries.
Music also helps with science.Students use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn't.Students also need science to understand something called the "overtone series"，which is about how music is produced by vibration（顫動(dòng)）and why.
Students learn a lot about languages.Many songs are written in other languages，including ancient ones.Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about.Some songs are famous poems or short works set to music.
Students learn a huge amount of coordination（協(xié)調(diào)）through music，so parts of the body can work better together.Students must use fine motor skills in order to play an instrument.Singers and players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play.

2．My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me.Together，we've gone through both tears and happiness.
About 12 years ago，I made acquaintance with it following an order from my mom.Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it.And to make things worse，the disappointment in my teacher's eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer，striking on my heart.One day，I finally decided：I hate it!
By chance，things changed when I was seven.I was at home lying on the sofa，wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma.I searched online for the E-minor Concerto，a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn，and listened to it.
A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow（琴弓）moved across jye.ai.It was like the music slid over the flowers，rose up，and started to fill the air.The violin's voice woke up the sun，made the trees green，and freshened the air.As the music changed，the sky turned back to gray.A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared.I could hear children crying and men shouting.It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly，making it unable to beat.
You Raise Me Up
Leslie Gallant - Most Beautiful Violin
That glorious day set off my passion and，interest in violin-I grabbed mine and never let it go.Before the memories faded，I stared at my instrument.Without hesitating，I picked it up，rosined（用松香擦）the bow，and began to play.Peace filled my heart.
My violin has been by my side for 12 years.When I feel happy，an energetic tune makes it even better；when I'm deep in sorrow，a peaceful tune washes it away，when I'm walking on air，feeling especially pleased with my achievements，solemn[?s?l?m] tunes（莊嚴(yán)的曲調(diào)）calm me down.Gradually，it has become a part of my life.
