very subtle question

Hi,

music promotion

How can I know when a noun can be used as an adjective like the phrase I found and not? The common or right phrasal form for that seems to be "musical promotion." I see so many similar instances like that in writing and sometimes I don't know whether or not the phrases are correct.
