In a touching television interview, the 78 year-old spoke of her excitement teaching music, mostly anonymously, for eight years at Wansbeck Primary School.

The Duchess, whose husband the Duke of Kent is the Queen?s cousin, admitted she got a ?tickle? of excitement when she recognised talent in pupils.

Known as ?Mrs Kent? to her students, the royal said she was proud to have given some the confidence to go on to university or pursue careers that previously would have been unachievable.

But she said she feared for the future of music in the English school curriculum, which could deprive underprivileged children of valuable stimulation.

It was informative to learn that Katharine played the piano, the violin and the organ.

Mr. Holland's Opus.  :orchid: My daughter took to the piano since she was a baby probably because she's distantly related to Bach. Her uncle plays the trombone. A cousin the cello. Now, it's all drums and guitars.  :eyes:  :lol:
