This is a normal post I don't.
I fully admit I am being prejudiced by assuming that music colleges are attended chiefly by the well to do classes. However I've seen more than my fair share of colleges of music (Leeds Uni, RCM in London, Brum Conservatoire). I didn't notice a lot of regional accents at such places. People used a lot of consonants when they laughed. Copies of Wodehouse being passed around. I am not exaggerating.

I am certain that there are even fewer working class people represented at such places now (based on the falling numbers of WC/'LPN' university admissions).

Not sure what your link is supposed to illustrate. Are we guessing class based on surnames? If so, there are not many Smiths, Joneses, Owenses, etc, compared to the Stockhausens, de Waals, Barbers, Thorntons, Websters, and so on.
