Tad Lincoln's music teacher, William Withers jr?

[RJNorton]

Somewhere I read Willie played the piano. Can anyone confirm/tell where to find this? If he did, who was his teacher?

In the book America's First Families: An Inside View of 200 Years of Private Life in the White House author Carl Sferrazza Anthony writes, "Willie and Tad Lincoln took piano lessons in the Red Room with a professor Alexander Wolowski."

Eva, I do not know the source for Mr. Anthony's statement, and offhand I do not believe I have ever seen the name Alexander Wolowski before in Lincoln books.
