Description
PMUSLYR reports whether the respondent took music lessons - either voice or training or playing an instrument - and/or music appreciation lessons during the last 12 months.
This variable is part of the Public Arts Supplement.
Comparability
This variable is largely comparable across available years.
For 2002, 2008, and 2012, this variable is created based on responses to two separate questions. First, respondents were asked whether they had taken music lessons, either voice or training or playing an instrument, in the last year. Second, they were asked whether they had taken music appreciation lessons in the last year.
For 2013 and 2015, respondents were asked a single question about whether they had taken music or music appreciation lessons in the last year. This was asked of all supplement respondents.
Users should also note differences in the universes across time.
