ESSAY: THE ARTISTIC EDUCATION IN SPAIN

The artistic education in Spain has decreased in the last years. Conservatories are closed, orchestras break ,teachers suffer dimissals every day.It is certain that government have had to cut, but it has cut too many in education, but especially in artistic teachings. The artistic education in Spain should be more valuable.

 First of all artistic education at schools have been reduced considerably. Some subjects, such as music, they are now being taken for many less hours than others. Whereas some subjets such as maths or language are coursed for four or five hours in a week, music is coursed for one or two hours as an optional subject and besides, during some schools years music is not studied. In addition, the arts higher secondary-education which was studied by 8000 teenagers the last year, it has been deleted. Consequently, a lot of teenagers won' able to study what they want to.

 Moreover, the higher artistic teachings aren't considered as an university degree. As an example, whereas any degree is awarded from four to six years, musical studies are begun at the age of eight years and are finished at 22. Finally, after fourteen years studing music, you don't receive an university diploma.

 Whereas in Spain the artistic education isn't considered too important, in other countries have a lot of importance. For instance, in countries such as Germany or France, playing an instrument at schools is compulsory. However, in Spain music subjet is hardly taken and many people don't show interest in such studies. In other countries there are many orchestras and they are some of the more well-paid jobs, some of them are even very famous around the world, such as Philarmonic Berlin's Orhestra. In Spain every time there are less professional orchestras , on account of the low amount of money destinated to these teachings and musicians have worse salaries.

To sum up, artistic education should be increased in Spain. On the contrary, less people will study these subjets and less artists will have, losing the art culture.

TRAVELLING ABROAD

Four years ago, I was living in London for a year. I didn't want to go to other place to living. In fact, it was a punishment owing not to have passed the course. At the beginning, all was different to me ad I missed my famiy, friends and my home. However, when I got used to living there, I began having an incredible time. Travelling abroad is a valuable learning experience.

 First of all, you learn to speak a new language perfectly. Every day you need to communicae with eople anywhere: If you go to a restaurant, you'll have to ask the waitress for the food; at school or college, you will have to talk to make friends; even in your home, you will speak to people for anything else. Moreover, you can become a perfect pronunciation, due t communicating with native speakers. As an example, when I arrived in London, I wasn't able to speak much in English. But, in a month my speech improved a lot! There isn't better way to learn a language than living in a place where is talked.

 From other view, you can make many good new activities to meet the costums and the culture of the place. You could go sighteeing, not only where you are living, also in the surroundings. In order to know the gastronomy, you can go out to lunch to the best restaurants of the city. You can also go shopping, especially to the shops which aren't found in your country. Definitively, a wild range of activities which you can learn many things.

 Moreover, it is necessary having above money when you go out. Living abroad is usually more epenive than living in your own country. Apart from accomodation and food, if you are living in a large city, distances are very large and you will need to pay transport (metres, buses, trains) to move around the city. As advice, if you want to cover some expenses, you can seek a job, since is easier than in Spain to get it. In this way you will be able to pay a considerable part of the voyage.

 All in all, travelling to other countries is an inredible experience where you will be able to learn many new things.
