The populatity of school orchestras varied from county to country in part because of the different approaches to education in different countries. This is somewhat complicated by changing approaches to education in each country overtime. American schools have extensive extra-curricular activities while French schools tend to be more strictly academic. We note school orchestras in American and British schools as well as former British colonies which have generally followed British educational appropaches. Some of the former colonies like Australia and New Zealand seem to have more extendsive extra-curricular programs than Britain itself. We have little informtion about other European countries at this time.
