Professor Lundstrom's office is in a closed off section of the private studio portion of his office. He keeps a mess of sheet music on shelves on either side of his desk, and various instruments of importance to him behind his chair. Two very comfy, very plush leather chairs sit opposite his own, in case anyone feels the need to chat or for some reason Monty ended up giving them detention.
The studio portion has shelves upon shelves of paint, supplies, and canvas' - Monty's own work hangs along the walls, and paintings students have done among them as well. He has a baby grand, plenty of guitars, as well as band-like instruments such as trumpets, clarinets, and so on. Come on in for a private studio session, or to chat away with Monty, he's happy to have company and his doors are always open... (unless the thread title says closed!)

After her final class wrapped up and homework had been graded, Anita gathered her belongings and made her way to Monty's studio for a little practice. This would be the first time she's visited the studio. Tentatively, Anita knocks on the door before entering the studio.
"Hello?"

“Come in!” Monty called out, hearing the soft voice from beyond his studio. He’d just been picking out some sheet music for the frog choir. “Studio’s yours!”

Looks around. "This is nice." -smiles- "You wouldn't happen to have La vie en rose by Edith Piaf sheet music, would you?" -trails hand along the piano, itching to play-

Smiles, glad to see Anita and happy she was taking advantage of the studio time. “I just might,” pauses, pursing his lips as he flips his wand to accio the sheet music Anita was looking for. The pages flapped a little before settling on the piano. “Those the right ones?”

sits at the piano, flipping through the sheet music with a happy smile on her face "Yes, this is perfect. Thank you." -starts to play the first few bars- "You can stay, if you'd like. I won't be long. Just had this song buzzing in my head all day." Plays the piano and begins to sing La via en rose |

“If I can just finish up with this sheet…” stops to listen, sitting down on one of the stools near the guitars. The sheet music was shuffled in his hands, but he mindlessly continued to shuffle as she played and sang. He’d heard talent before, but this was magic.

Anita gets to an instrumental part of the song, playing a piano solo while glancing up at Monty.
"My grandmother used to sing this song to me."

Begins gathering the sheet music again. He doesn’t know the song like Anita does, but its familiar enough he can hum to himself, quietly, as to not disturb her.

"Give your heart and soul to me, and life will always be, la vie en rose."
Anita plays the last few bars on the piano before smiling. She gathers the sheet music and stands, moving to hand him the music
"I hope I didn't take up too much of your time."

Is startled by the end of the song, wishes she’d stay longer. “Your fingers whisper to the keys …” takes the sheet music. “Not at all. I’m thinking’s we might need to plan a talent show of some sort. There are so many talented students…” pauses to offer her a small smile, “and professors. Might take some stress from holiday exams?”

considers staying longer, perhaps another song...
"I had the same idea!" -smiles- "I may have been looking for an excuse to bring it up to you."
-sits at the piano before she can think about it-

Glad she has chosen to stay for another. “Brilliant!” Begins filing away the sheet music. “I hope headmistress doesn’t get to terribly sick of our ideas,” laughs lightly.
