Noisy pupil with style and talent (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flair

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'talent' is the definition.
(I know that flair is a type of talent)

'noisy pupil with style' is the wordplay.
'noisy' becomes 'f'.
'pupil' becomes 'L' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car).
'with style' becomes 'air' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'f'+'l'+'air'='FLAIR'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flair that I've seen before include "Intuitive discernment" , "Bent" , "skill" , "?lan, dash" , "Natural talent and aptitude" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
