Music on key-ring rising quickly (9)

I believe the answer is:

rocketing

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

'rising quickly' is the definition.
'rocketing' can be an answer for 'rising' (rocketing is a kind of rising). I'm not certain of the 'quickly' bit.

'music on key-ring' is the wordplay.
'music on' becomes 'rock' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'key' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ring' becomes 'ting' (I have seen 'Sharp ring ' mean 'ting' so perhaps 'ring' could also mean 'ting').
'rock'+'e'+'ting'='ROCKETING'
