Morphology
The meaning 'a school where students are taught music' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'music' (the subject) with 'school' (an educational institution); the compound simply specifies the type of school. This noun-noun composition is a common and cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Music school combines music, meaning the subject, and school, meaning a place to learn. Picture students with instruments learning from a teacher, and that image explains why the phrase means 'a school where students are taught music'.
