'be musical' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'it's grand for a boy' is the wordplay.
'it's grand' becomes 'g' (synonyms).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'a boy' becomes 'son' ('son' can be a synonym of 'boy').
'g' after 'son' is 'SONG'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for song that I've seen before include "Piece of music, usually with words" , "Vocal composition" , "Musical composition with words" , "Ballad, aria" , "Lied" .)
