I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'no' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'way to play piano' is the wordplay.

'l'+'oud'='LOUD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for loud that I've seen before include "Audibly, or visually, obtrusive" , "Brash" , "Deafening" , "Tastelessly showy" , "At high volume" .)
