Sir Keir Starmer on playing flute and violin and his love of Beethoven | Classic FM 

Thank you Classic FM. It's heartwarming to think that possibly the next Prime Minister sees music having a significant place in the national educational syllabus. Fingers crossed.

The future UK prime minister studied Flute, Piano, Recorder and Violin, that’s amazing news to secure more and better funding for the future of music education in the UK!

This is very encouraging!

Fellow ex-junior at the Guildhall here. Only those who have gone through that baptism of fire can understand that bubble. We won't see eye to eye on most policy issues, but I am sure we can talk about music for hours.

Great one keir starmer. Talk about music, far more interesting than politics

The only thing we agree on! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸

Lovely interview.

I thought maybe he’d choose ‘You can’t always get what you want’ by the Rolling Stones

I wonder if he thinks of the Palestinian children who have had their arms and legs blown off when he’s playing his flute?
