Strategy to include piano in Asian orchestra (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

game plan

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

'strategy' is the definition.
(game plan is a kind of strategy)

'include piano in asian orchestra' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'piano' could be 'p' (musical abbreviation) and 'p' is found within the answer.
'orchestra' could be 'gamelan' (I've seen this before) and 'gamelan' is located in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
