 	SCENE 1 	Bob is giving a music lesson to a new student - a meek woman named Masha (portrayed by Tracey Ullman). She struggles with singing the basic scales, but with some encouragement from Bob, she improves each time and gains her confidence. She suddenly sheds her timid persona and launches into "Sing It Out, Baby" with gusto, making her way down to the street where everyone is struck speechless when she's through. She then reverts back to her shy ways, confirming with Bob if she was okay.
