Original Spanking Art — Darcy 25: By Any Means

It’s understandable of course that parents want their children to do well. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the well-heeled and fiercely competitive county of Cheshire, where a flourishing industry of private tutors has grown. Offering bespoke and dedicated services, these retired schoolmasters and academics can, for a price, help those students who have failed to fulfil their potential in the soft and undisciplined modern school system.

Take Mr Petrovsky for example. He specialises in helping girls excel at the piano. The problem, as he tells their eager parents, is that most young women do not take their studies seriously enough. Practice is the key to progress, but how many girls choose to spend their time concentrating on their scales when they might be lounging around reading magazines or talking on their mobile phones about boys? Or, even worse, lounging about and getting up to mischief with boys?

His proven method is to take in promising students for a week. Deprived of contact with the outside world — no phones, no television and absolutely no visitors — they are immersed in a strict regime of disciplined practice.

His results are certainly impressive. Sophie here was only barely at the level of Grade 2. But Mr Petrovsky has set her a solo piece at Grade 4 to master. Her daily routine consists of a supervised morning bath overseen by her tutor. A frugal breakfast, then into her school uniform and after the first light spanking of the day — ‘it helps a girl to focus’ — she will practice, practice, practice. Mistakes are noted and at the end of each hour they are addressed, with one stroke of the cane for each misdemeanour. Then back to the keyboard. By the end of the day it is of course difficult for the girl to sit, but Mr Petrovsky insists that a truly great player needs to be capable of ignoring distractions. He employs the ruler to rap her knuckles if he feels she’s not giving the piece her full attention, and occasionally, when he’s feeling generous, he will employ the strap across her thighs and buttocks rather than the cane.

Sophie is still struggling with the piece, so tonight he has promised her a very thorough thrashing. He’s counted over 50 mistakes so far. Truthfully, he is beginning to look forward to the evening discipline nearly as much as she is fearfully dreading it. The desperate girl has already begged and pleaded with him for forgiveness, and is now offering all sorts of favours if he’d only let her off. But Petrovsky is not ready to give up on the challenge just yet. He sees enormous potential in her — as he seems to do with all the prettier students — and despite her sobbing and squirming he knows that the cane will allow him to get the very best out of her. But he is not completely without mercy. Perhaps, after a thorough thrashing, he might let her off the last dozen in return for a little quid pro quo…
