Round 1
Con
#1
Hello, I shall keep my debate short and precise:

All kids shouldn't learn a musical instrument as not everybody has a passion for music. Plus, we are in the 21st Century and we have good technology, thus we can find and play music online, without needing to learn a instrument.

Yes, what you've said is quite true, Joshua_Stebold. However, learning music, according to scientific research does help students to promote craftsmanship and they also learn to want to produce good work. Finally, this also helps in their hand-eye coordination.



Round 2

Yes, it does help in the areas you mentioned. However, if the child does not have any passion, he or she won't develop in the ways you have mentioned.
