The following appeared on the Mozart School of Music Web site.
"The Mozart School of Music should be the first choice for parents considering enrolling their child in music lessons. First of all, the Mozart School welcomes youngsters at all ability and age levels; there is no audition to attend the school. Second, the school offers instruction in nearly all musical instruments as well a wide range of styles and genres from classical to rock. Third, the faculty includes some of the most distinguished musicians in the area. Finally, many Mozart graduates have gone on to become well-known and highly paid professional musicians."
Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.
The message on the web –site of Mozart School implies that the Mozart school is a best school to opt if parents want their child to be enrolled in music classes. The author of the message provides 4 reasons to prove his position, but some of his arguments are not cohesive and based on some assumptions which additional information must confirm.
First of all, the one of the advantages of Mozart School, as stated in the passage, is that school welcomes youngsters at all ability and age levels, but what about other musical schools? Are there any differences between the processes of the applying? If the procedures are tantamount that means Mozart School does not have any advantage. Moreover, the fact that Mozart School does not take to the account the differences in the level of preparation among newcomers may decrease the productivity of education, because it will be very hard to teach students with different abilities in one classroom.
Secondly, the fact the faculty includes some of the most distinguished musicians in the area is not linked with a quality of the education, due to the fact not all the great professionals are good teachers, especially if to talk about children education. There are myriads of examples when professional sportsmen who were successful in sport did not reach the same achievements as coaches. In addition, it is very difficult to work with children, because of their foibles. Very little number of people can work with children efficaciously. Of course, it may be interesting for children to have classes when a teacher is popular and famous, but the person who achieved a lot in some sphere is not always a good guide.
Providing readers with a statement that he Mozart School of Music should be the first choice for parents considering enrolling their child in music lessons author assumes that by making no differences between the level of preparation among entering students and providing them with most distinguished musicians in the area as a teachers the Mozart School of Music will have advantages in comparison with other schools, but as described above, his arguments are not cohesive and cogent.
