The charts below give information about children under 18 learning musical instruments in one region of the UK in 1996 and 2016.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The charts delineate the percentages of children taking lessons about musical instruments and the type instruments that they pursue in a particular area in the UK in 1996 and 2016.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that more children became interested in learning how to play musical instruments over the period given, with rises in popularity for electric guitar, and more notably, keyboard. In contrast, children’s interest in guitar, violin, piano, and “other” declined, while there were no changes in those learning how to play multiple instruments.
Looking first of all at the pie charts, in 1996, the figure for children learning a musical instrument was only slightly lower than those who did not, accounting for 44% and 56%, respectively. However, these categories switched positions after ten years, with the figure for those pursuing a musical instrument dominating the chart at 76%, while only nearly a fourth of them did not learn any instruments.
In terms of the bar chart, in 1996, the piano was the most common instrument chosen for instruction, with 30% of learners, while “other” instruments received the least attention at merely 3%. Over the following decade, children’s interest in acoustic guitar, violin, piano, and “other” declined slightly to 3%, 10%, 26%, and 2% of learners, for each, whereas the opposite was the case for the data for keyboard and the electric guitar learners, with each respective instrument growing drastically to 16% and 30%. Lastly, the percentage for those learning multiple instruments stayed at the same level of around 12% in both years.
