The given bar chart below illustrates the proportion of students learning to play four distinct instruments (guitar, piano, drum and violin) from 2005 to 2015.
Overall, it is clear that all three instruments, except for the violin, had undergone considerable proportion surge. It is also notable that the guitar remained as the most popular instrument among students through the whole period.
In 2005, the number of individuals, who preferred the guitar, had covered above than 10% of the total. Furthermore, the piano, which was the second most well-known instrument among students, held 10% respectively. Meanwhile, in contrast with these two, the drum was sparsely learned by students, covering approximately 5% of the total. Similarly, the violin was slightly larger in the proportion of popularity than the drum.
Five years later, the guitar witnessed a substancial change, with the proportion of learners soaring to roughly 20%. Similarly, the piano rose from 10% to above than 15% over the same period. However, the proportion of two remaining instruments users didn’t see any dramatic changes and remained unchanged.
By 2015, the trend was likely to be continued, and the proportion of the guitar learners reached just below 30%, with the piano users representing 25% of the total. Meanwhile, although the drum saw a gradual increase, violin slightly decreased during this period.
