Do I need to claim the money that I receive for giving piano lessons for a few friends children, not technically a busines?

You are required to report all income on your return. The income is considered self employment income. As self-employed, it's likely you need to fill out an IRS Schedule C to report your income and expenses. 

Where do I enter Schedule C?

You can deduct eligible business expenses to pay fewer taxes. These expenses must be common for your type of business and also necessary for your operations.
