I believe the answer is:

beat

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

'type of music club' is the definition.
'beat' can be an answer for 'club' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'type of music' bit.

'of music club' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'music' could be 'e' and 'e' is located in the answer.
'club' could be 'bat' (as in sporting equipment) and 'bat' is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beat that I've seen before include "Police officer's allocated area to be patrolled" , "cane" , "Policeman's route; strike" , "Tan" , "Come out better than in a competition" .)
