The bar chart compares four different musical instruments that school children learned to play in three years - 2005, 2010 and 2015. Overall, it is clear that piano and guitar grew in popularity among children during the period while the other two - drums and violin - remained quite uncommon.
Piano and guitar were the most preferred options for students at school during all three years, with increasing popularity. In 2005, the figure for those playing the piano and guitar was 10% each, which rose to around 20% in 2010. About 40% of children knew to play the guitar in 2015 - a little higher than the proportion of piano players.
By contrast, there was always little interest in the remaining two instruments - drums and violin. Although almost 10% of students chose to play the violin initially, this percentage went down to as small as 5%. Meanwhile, drums were the least common in 2005, before having a marginal rise in the final year.
