The primary goal of music education is to develop students' musical skills and knowledge, including their ability to sing, play an instrument, read and write music, and understand musical concepts.

Memorization is not a common method of music education because it does not promote the development of musical skills and knowledge. It is more important for students to learn how to read and write music, and to understand musical concepts, than to simply memorize pieces of music.
