I am a music teacher only 1 day of the week. I get paid by from a home schooling organization assoc with a school district. Is all my transportation tax deductible?

Being a music teacher is not my full time job. What confuses me about the tax deduction is that I guess you could technically say my office is my home? Therefore, I should be able deduct my drive TO, BETWEEN, and BACK from the students' homes, not just between the students' homes. Is this correct?

Yes, IF you are driving to a variety of students homes to give music lessons then your mileage from leaving your home, going to each student's home and back to your home would be deductible.

Yes, your home would be your primary/beginning location.
