Abstract
Music education is a growing market in China and many developing countries. Many citizens in these countries are spending more on recreation, cultural services and equipment (including musical instruments). Some people, especially children, are encouraged to learn music, because learners can satisfy their curiosity and interest, improve their quality, and achieve aesthetic concepts throughout a long period of music learning. Besides that, learning music is practical in life, it not only expresses learner’s emotions, but also helps them find part-time jobs and get admitted to the high-ranked universities easily, accordingly music is worthwhile to be explored and learned. Second is that most people find a career by learning music. Last but not least, I have personal reasons to recommend learning music and verify the necessity of violin learning by myself.
