Morphology
The meaning 'a person who teaches music' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'music' (the subject matter) and 'teacher' (someone who teaches). This noun-noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern (X teacher = teacher of X) and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Music teacher is a compound that names someone who teaches music. The word music shows what is taught and teacher shows who teaches, so music teacher means 'a person whose job is to teach music'.
