I believe the answer is:

etude

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

This might be a double definition.

'french study' is the first definition.
'etude' can be an answer for 'study' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'french' bit.

'a composition' is the second definition.
(I know that etude is a type of composition)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for etude that I've seen before include "Indian statesman" , "Chopin study" , "A short musical exercise" , "(Musical) study" , "bit of practice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
