I believe the answer is:

attitude

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

'view' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a diminutive singer joining tempestuous duet' is the wordplay.
'diminutive singer joining' becomes 'tti' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tempestuous' indicates an anagram.
'duet' with letters rearranged gives 'tude'.
'a'+'tti'+'tude'='ATTITUDE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for attitude that I've seen before include "Way of thinking or behaving,stance" , "Position or mental approach" , "One's position on a matter" , "Self-confident behaviour; way of thinking" , "Stance - demeanour" .)
