Music classes to fulfill LOTE requirement in school

[NightGuardianAngel]

Does anybody agree with allowing students to take music classes (piano lessons or lessons on another musical instrument, band, choir, music theory, etc.) to fulfill the language other than English requirements? Music is a universal language.

My son is taking computer programming to fulfill his lote. I don’t think taking another language should be required to graduate high school. Some kids have no interest and others just can’t do it. I am grateful my son can learn to program for his foreign language.

Never thought about music as a language but great they offer it in your district as an alternative.
