Description

Magazine caption: Just why this particular young lady takes lessons no one is quite able to tell. If you were present at one of her lessons you would soon get the idea that she knows far more about musical instruction than her teacher. She indicates what pieces it pleases her youthful majesty to play and she never fails to let the teacher know that she intends to play them in her own particular way. Perhaps if the teacher were a little more assertive Miss Presumptuousness might lose some of her officiousness.
