Late Learners
William Hague quit as Conservative party leader and took up the piano 鈥� so how did he and other late-starters fare? From 2004.
Just a day after he resigned as Conservative Party Leader 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?
All is revealed as we hear about the challenges of playing the double bass at the age of 75, the bravery needed to join a school band in your retirement, and an innovative project bringing together late learners for weekly music-making.
Producer: Michael Surcombe
