The United Kingdom is undergoing a resurgence in music-making among young people after a new survey revealed that more than two-thirds of British children are active musicians, a big rise compared to a decade ago, and especially among those from lower-income backgrounds.

Charity Youth Music and Ipsos Mori polled more than 1,000 British children aged between 7 and 17 about their music habits.

The results revealed that 97 percent of respondents had listened to music in the previous week and 67 percent had also engaged in "some form of music-making activity". This is a big rise from 39 percent in 2006, when Youth Music did its previous survey.
