　　Sample answer：

　　Music and art should be important components（成分，科目） of the school curriculum（课程） because they have many uses besides recreation. To study music is to study the basics. Through its study, students come into contact with（接触）  other basic areas of the curriculum: math, science, social studies, languages,and physical education.

　　Apart from that, music, like reading, writing and speaking, conveys（传达） thoughts,ideas and feelings. It also provides an avenue for（提供方法/途径） developing self-expression and creativity. On the other hand, art education in itself has tremendous value（具有巨大价值）.

　　Learning about the history, sharing ideas and knowledge, is always a good thing. Music and art, therefore, as important parts of our lives, should be taught in high school.
