Beat learned, bad for Glenn Miller perhaps? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bandleader

'glenn miller perhaps?' is the definition.
(I know this)

'beat learned bad' is the wordplay.
'beat' indicates an anagram.
'learned'+'bad'='learnedbad'
'learnedbad' anagrammed gives 'BANDLEADER'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for bandleader that I've seen before include "Music director" , "Conductor, perhaps" , "Music supremo" , "Ted Heath was one" , "Top musician" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
