rabbi

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

'teacher's' is the definition.
(Jewish teacher)

'tips for our orchestra before musical king and i' is the wordplay.
'tips for' indicates one should take the final letters (tip can mean the end of something).
'before musical king' becomes 'bb' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
The last letters of 'our orchestra' are 'ra'.
'ra'+'bb'+'i'='RABBI'

Can you help me to learn more?
