Letter: Save the arts

In supporting your call to Gordon Brown to "Save the Arts", I cannot but compare the resources, time and encouragement which the average secondary school gives its gifted mathematicians, scientists and computer whizz-kids, with the equally gifted musical child, often grudgingly excused from another lesson for instrument tuition, having to pay for it, and then being expected back in their own time to support the school at the prestige concert.
