In Gloucestershire until about three years ago, 1 child in 8 learned a musical instrument. I complained about that to Gloucestershire Music Service, was told that 1 in 8 was a very high proportion compared with other counties. The situation since then, with Arts Council now responsible for the funding of school music from DfE has deteriorated rapidly. There are no reliable figures about the current proportion, but I fear it is less than 1 in 20 now.
