Original:

Well, I don't believe music education is important. Some people may argue that music can cultivate our taste and enable us to be a better person. But that doesn't mean music education is crucial to everybody. I think every individual could have their choice to choose their own way to go. To myself, for example, I don't like music at all. All these abandoned music instruments such as piano, violin, drums, they don't attract me at all. And I just want to play them. Instead, I like drawing. I like sports. I just want to immerse myself in the elegant black and white, elegant colors. That makes me feel happy, not the music.

Revised:

I believe that music education is not essential for everyone. While some people argue that music can cultivate one's taste and contribute to personal growth, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is crucial for everyone. Each individual should have the freedom to choose their own path in life. For instance, I personally do not have an interest in music. Instruments such as the piano, violin, and drums hold no appeal for me. Instead, I find joy in other pursuits like drawing and sports. Immersing myself in the elegant world of black and white or vibrant colors brings me happiness, not music.
