If you would like to support our campaign, please forward our ready-made e-mail (or send it by post) to your Member of Parliament as described below (you will need to include your name and address):

 

Nine in ten adults support school music lessons for children (91%)
- 3p per person per week 'is reasonable cost' (77%)
- 19% play an instrument or sing; 43% would like to

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 musicians' professional body commissioned YouGov to survey 2,095 people online in a representative sample of all adults in Great Britain.

People from all backgrounds were strongly in favour of giving children the chance to learn an instrument, with 90% or more support in all age groups and social grades.
