I believe the answer is:

lyric

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

'songwriting?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'part of unusually rich contribution' is the wordplay.
'part of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LYRIC' can be found hidden inside 'unusually rich contribution'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lyric that I've seen before include "One barred from native country" , "Of poetry that expresses the poet's feelings" , "Melodic" , "Expressing poetical emotions" , "Words to a song" .)
