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

'singer' is the definition.
(I know that treble is a type of singer)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for treble that I've seen before include "High pitched singing voice" , "Multiple score in darts" , "Consisting of three parts; voice" , "Threefold; boy's voice" , "Feat of winning three major trophies" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
