'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'learner finally gets grade one playing' is the wordplay.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'gets' indicates putting letters inside.
'playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
The last letter of 'learner' is 'r'.
'grade'+'one'='gradeone'
'gradeone' anagrammed gives 'reedogan'.
'r' going into 'reedogan' is 'REED-ORGAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?
