His part is arranged for a member of the orchestra (7)

I believe the answer is:

harpist

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

'his part is arranged for a member of the orchestra' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'his part is arranged' is the wordplay.
'is arranged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'his'+'part'='hispart'
'hispart' with letters rearranged gives 'HARPIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?
