Late Learners

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A day after he resigned as leader of the Conservative Party, William Hague found himself on a new path learning the piano. So how has he fared, and how do his experiences compare with other late-starting musicians? This programme finds out and also investigates the challenges of playing the double bass at the age of 75, the bravery needed to start a school band in your retirement, and an innovative project bringing together late learners for weekly music-making.
