'deprived' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'no harp playing' is the wordplay.
'playing' is an anagram indicator.
'no'+'harp'='noharp'
'noharp' is an anagram of 'ORPHAN'.

'for child who's' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orphan that I've seen before include "One deprived" , "child all alone" , "Child with no living parents" , "Bereaved child" , "Child bereft of parents" .)
