I believe the answer is:

coloratura

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

'style of singing' is the definition.
'coloratura' can be an answer for 'singing' (coloratura is a kind of singing). I'm unsure of the 'style of' bit.

'at our carol broadcast?' is the wordplay.
'broadcast?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'broadcast' mean this (letters scattered or cast around)).
'at'+'our'+'carol'='atourcarol'
'atourcarol' anagrammed gives 'COLORATURA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for coloratura that I've seen before include "singer" , "embellished in bars" , "Elaborate vocal ornamentation" , "Noted embellishments" , "Melba's speciality" .)
