Morphology
The meaning 'an occasion when someone is taught to play a musical instrument or to sing' is directly and compositionally derived from 'music' (the subject matter) + 'lesson' (an instructional session), i.e. a lesson about music. This noun–noun compound follows a common and transparent pattern in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Music lesson paints a simple picture: music (songs and sounds) and lesson (a time when a teacher shows you how), like a teacher showing notes while a student practices scales. So, it means 'an occasion when someone is taught to play a musical instrument or to sing'.
