Music to amuse the children? (5)
I believe the answer is:
swing
'music' is the definition.
(swing music is a kind of music)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swing that I've seen before include "Reversal of fortune" , "Piece of playground equipment" , "Shift opinions; hang" , "Change opinion" , "Move like a pendulum" .)
