Description

Magazine caption: Willie has been studying just three months. Teacher is working her hardest to get Willie to take the least gleam of interest in some really good music. Just at the moment when she sees promising signs of budding appreciation, Willie's mamma appears upon the scene. Although she admits that she knows nothing about music she does not hesitate to insist upon the use of a trashy piece which will put Willie back months in his progress. What shall the teacher do?
