Question

Can you play a musical instrument？Where did you learn to play it？If you were a pupil in a British school，you would most probably learn at school．Around 25% of British pupils learn an instrument．What's more，of the 75% that don't，40% would like to．But what instruments do the pupils learn to play？Traditionally，school children learnt classical instruments，such as the piano or violin．This is still true today．Younger children often learn the recorder．As they get older，they start to play the violin or piano．In fact，nearly one out of five music students is learning the violin．The piano，or keyboard，is more popular with older children at secondary school．However，things are changing．More pupils than ever before are now learning the guitar．As many as 16% of pupils learning an instrument are strumming（弹奏）its strings．
British schools do not just offer lessons for instruments．All pupils learn music together as a class．These classes have been changing，too．In the past，the focus of classes was very much Western classical music．But the classes now cover a far wider range of styles，including folk music and world music．In a recent study by Keele University，64% of boys and 70% of girls said they enjoyed music lessons as a class．They like singing and playing instruments and find the lessons fun．
Many schools have orchestras（管弦乐队）and put on concerts each term．It is also common for pupils themselves to form their own bands，copying their rock and pop heroes．In conclusion，music plays a big part in British schools．Pupils can study an instrument，play music together as a class and even take part in concerts and plays．
