Show the score to a pupil (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

musical

'show' is the definition.
(I know that musical is a type of motion picture)

'score to a pupil' is the wordplay.
'score' becomes 'music' (I've seen this in another clue).
'pupil' becomes 'L' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car).
'music'+'a'+'l'='MUSICAL'

'the' is the link.

(Other definitions for musical that I've seen before include "Tuneful; stage work" , "Stage entertainment" , "Euphonious" , "Song and dance show" , "Cats maybe" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
