Our school newspaper asked 200 students in tenth grade about music. Almost all of them listen to music every day. Most students listen on their phones, usually with earphones. They listen on the bus, while they are doing homework, and before they go to sleep. Only twelve students said that music is not important to them.

We also asked, "Do you play an instrument?" About one student in four said yes. The guitar is the most popular instrument, then the piano and the drums. Here are three of the students we talked to.

Noam, 16, plays the guitar. "I started two years ago, and I have never had a lesson with a teacher! I learn new songs from videos on the internet. It's free, and I can practise when I want. But sometimes I don't know if I'm playing correctly."

Hila, 15, plays the drums in the school band. "My parents weren't very happy when I started, because drums are so loud," she laughs. "Now I practise in a room at school, not at home. Our band has played at three school parties, and next month we are going to play at a festival in our city. Playing with other people is the best part."

And what about students who don't play? "I have never played an instrument," says Yarden, 15, "but I love singing. I sing all the time – in the shower, in the kitchen, everywhere!"
