Hearsay about sense for music (3)
I believe the answer is:
ear
'sense for music' is the definition.
'ear' can be an answer for 'sense' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'for music' bit.
'hearsay about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the clue goes around or about the answer).
'EAR' is hidden in the letters of 'hearsay'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ear that I've seen before include "organ with drum" , "Discernment musicians need" , "Listener in the cornfield" , "'Give every man thine ..., but few thy voice'/Hamlet" , "Part of corn plant" .)
