Subject: FSA for music/piano or swimming lessons?
It looks like either would fail the IRS's test for qualifying expenses

Generally, no. If they are included activities in an extended care program before or after school, while you are working? Possibly.

I hear that if music/piano or swimming lessons are for therapies purpose, not for leisure/entertainment/hobby, or they are camp hours, or otherwise, I don't think you can use FSA $ for that.
You're right, sorry I meant Dependent Care FSA.
That was clear OP, ignore PP.
