Morphology
The meaning 'a stool used by musicians' is directly and compositionally derived from 'music' (relating to musical activity) + 'stool' (a backless seat). This noun–noun composition indicating purpose or association is common and cross‑linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Music stool is a simple name: a stool for people who play music, a seat without a back that can change height. Because piano players often needed a low seat they could raise or lower while they play, the name came to mean 'a backless, often adjustable seat for musicians'.
