Studies sax parts in recital (5)
I believe the answer is:
reads
This clue might be a double definition.
'studies sax' is the first definition.
'reads' can be an answer for 'studies' ('read' can be a synonym of 'study'). I'm unsure of the 'sax' bit.
'parts in recital' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reads that I've seen before include "Studies (at university)" , "Looks at and undertsands the written word" , "Understands written language" , "Peruses" , "Scans" .)
