Children who attend independent schools in England are six times more likely to be taught music than those in the state sector, research suggests.
The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music found half of all pupils had received tuition in the 101 private schools it surveyed. Government statistics showed the proportion in state schools was 8.4%.
The board wants more spending on music. The government says it wants all pupils to be able to learn an instrument.
