There might be a difference between private practicing and music lessons - this is taken from Zürcher Unterländer:



Private practicing or music lessons for two to three hours a day are in general acceptable. Very loud music instruments like trumpets or drums are according to this article not allowed. I have myself though practiced trombone for 30 minutes daily in a rented appartment without problems...

If the rental contract explicitely prohibits giving music lessons, you'll have to respect that.
I disagree with the above interpretation. An apartment is for residential purposes. It cannot be used for commercial purposes without the landlord's explicit permission. Also compliance with municipal zoning laws is required.

Often, some professional activities may be tolerated. That works as long as no neighbor is upset. Then the music will stop.
