Notes Ms Moore has gold piercing (2-2-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

do-re-mi

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

'notes' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Musical notes' mean 'do-re-mi' so perhaps 'notes' could also mean 'do-re-mi')

'ms moore has gold piercing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'gold' could be 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold) and 'or' is located in the answer.
'moore' could be 'demi' (Demi Moore) and 'demi' is located in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for do-re-mi that I've seen before include "Musical notes" , "Tonic Sol-fa song" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
