literally devour a piece of music

A reader who prefers to remain anonymous writes:
I teach in a high-school arts program that admits students by audition. The auditioning student must also supply a letter of recommendation. One student had a letter of recommendation from a teacher I know, whom I consider a complete hack. In his letter, he wrote that the student “literally devours every piece of music I give her“. Music is delicious.

Unless it was meant in the literary sense of destroying something completely, which would be funny:
