Crossword Genius

A musical group to allow charm (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amulet

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

'charm' is the definition.
(I know that amulet is a type of charm)

'a musical group to allow' is the wordplay.
'a musical group' becomes 'amu' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to allow' becomes 'let' (synonyms).
'amu'+'let'='AMULET'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amulet that I've seen before include "Thing worn as charm against evil" , "Charm to protect from evil" , "Mascot" , "Charm warding off evil" , "Protective ornament" .)
