The pie charts and the line graph show the comparison of adolescents in Britain studying musical instruments in a region between 1996 and 2016.
Overall, it is obvious that learning instrumental music was more popular with children under the age 18 in that area by 1996. On the other hand, children under 18 learning instrumental music were strongly declined in 2016.
To begin with, many adolescents in that region of Britain were interested in learning musical instruments, which accounted for 56%. Playing piano and keyboard were the best choice for children in 1996, it was respectively 30% and nearly 25%. Furthermore, studying violin was also a general option at nearly 15%. In contrast, there was also a high proportion of children not learning instrumental music at 44%. the percentages of children who played electric guitar and studied more than 1 instrument were almost in the same level at between 10% and 15%. Following this, acoustic guitar was almost lowest at more than 5% a bit, and the other instruments were the lowest rate.
Turning to 2016, there were the minority of British children under 18 studying musical instruments, which was just only 24%. It is almost similar to 1996 that the proportion of playing piano and keyboard were largest at nearly 30% and 30%, respectively. However, playing electric guitar in 2016 was higher than 1996, which was more than 15%. In the same way, the percentage of adolescents who played more than one musical instrument was at the same level as 1996 at more than 10%. Otherwise, studying acoustic guitar and the other instruments were less than 1996 and also the lowest in 2006, both of those were at between 0% and 5%.
In summary, British adolescents in a region by 1996 were more interested in playing musical instruments than in 2016. Alternatively, the number of children that are not keen on playing instruments increased strongly by 2016, leading to the proportion of children under 18 playing instruments decreasing at this time.
