The word is built simply and is made up of 'Musik' (music) and 'Lehrer' (teacher). So it literally refers to a person who teaches music.
Der neue Musiklehrer an unserer Schule ist sehr beliebt.
The new music teacher at our school is very popular.
The base word 'Lehrer' (teacher) is very productive. You can combine it with many school subjects to refer to the corresponding teacher, for example: 'Deutschlehrer' (German teacher), 'Sportlehrer' (PE teacher), 'Mathelehrer' (math teacher).
Meine Mathelehrerin war strenger als mein Musiklehrer.
My math teacher was stricter than my music teacher.
If you want to say that you take lessons with someone, use the preposition 'bei' (with/from). The pattern is: 'Unterricht bei einem Musiklehrer haben' (to have lessons with a music teacher).
Ich nehme seit zwei Jahren Klavierunterricht bei einem privaten Musiklehrer.
I have been taking piano lessons with a private music teacher for two years.
