Crossword Genius

Record teacher ignoring second musician, say (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entertainer

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

'musician say' is the definition.
(musician is a kind of entertainer)

'record teacher ignoring second' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'record' could be 'enter' (enter can mean to enter into a record) and 'enter' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entertainer that I've seen before include "One in showbusiness" , "Variety artist" , "comic perhaps" , "Arturo -, nineteeth to twentieth century Italian conductor" , "Eg, singer or comic" .)
