Why do you think that is?

Damn those dominating middle class girls!:

Schools are doing a thriving trade in violin, flute, guitar and recorder lessons, but they are too often dominated by middle-class girls, according to an Ofsted report published today.

While extra-curricular music lessons are good, and there are plenty of opportunities to learn how to play an instrument, pupils from lower income families are less likely to take them...

Not surprising really. I've never really considered that knowing how to play a musical instrument is a likely path to riches. Just goes to show that ordinary folk are far more likely to know what their priorities should be than a chicken shed full of Guardianistas.
