music school
An educational institution where you receive music lessons in order to learn an instrument or train your voice.

This word is a clear example of a German compound word. It consists of 'die Musik' (music) and 'die Schule' (school) and literally means a school for music.
Meine Tochter möchte in der Musikschule Klavier lernen.
My daughter would like to learn piano at the music school.
Pay attention to the case with the preposition 'in'. When you describe movement, use the accusative: 'in die Musikschule gehen' (to go to the music school). When you describe a location, use the dative: 'in der Musikschule sein' (to be at the music school).
Jeden Mittwoch fahre ich meine Kinder in die Musikschule.
Every Wednesday I drive my children to the music school.
Common verbs used with 'Musikschule' are 'sich anmelden' (to register), 'Unterricht nehmen' (to take lessons), or 'lehren/unterrichten' (to teach).
Man kann sich online für die Kurse an der Musikschule anmelden.
You can register online for the courses at the music school.
music club
'die Musikschule' and 'der Musikverein' both have to do with music and regular practice. The difference lies in the purpose. At a Musikschule, you receive lessons, for example for piano, violin, or singing. A Musikverein is a group or organization where people make music together, often in an orchestra or brass band. The words can be confused because both are connected with music and meetings. When it is about learning with teachers, 'Musikschule' fits. When it is about making music together in a group, 'Musikverein' fits.
Meine Tochter geht jeden Mittwoch in die Musikschule, weil sie Gitarre lernen möchte.
My daughter goes to music school every Wednesday because she wants to learn guitar.
Im Musikverein spielt Tom Trompete in einer kleinen Blaskapelle.
Tom plays trumpet in a small brass band at the music club.
