43% would like to play an instrument or sing
in a choir
Ninety-one per cent of adults in Britain
want children to have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument at school,
according to research from the Incorporated Society of Musicians. The ISM
research also looked at adults' own musical ambitions. It found that 19% of
respondents said they already played an instrument or sang in a choir, and 43%
said they would like to do so.
The musicians' professional body
commissioned YouGov to survey 2,095 people online in a representative sample
of all adults in Great Britain.
