Taking up hobbies as an adult11 Mar 2004
What are the challenges in learning to pirouette or sing when you're no longer in the first flush of youth? And how hard is it to take direction from a ballet teacher when you may be a director of a company in your day job.



To discuss the rewards of taking up a hobby in later life Jenni is joined by piano and singing tutor and musical director of Aughton Youth Choir and Christ Church Choir, Eunice Woof and Jenny Rogers, author of Adults Learning , executive director of Management Futures and self-confessed passionate learner.
