College clarinet (etc.) professor here.

If you are able to go about your daily activities normally most of the time, then I don't see why there should be any specific need to tell your teacher unless you wish to. If you are sometimes incapacitated, you will need to be aware of your teacher's policy on lesson absences/rescheduling due to illness. Personally, I'm happy to reschedule students whenever possible if they are sick if they give me at least a little advance notice.

However: if you expect the migraines to require some kind of ongoing special accommodations (being excused from lessons on a regular basis, being excused from fulfilling normal practice or performance requirements, etc.) then you will probably need to check in with the office on your school's campus that handles "special needs" students (most often physical disabilities or learning disabilities). I am not permitted to alter course requirements for individual students unless I am instructed to do so by my university's "Counseling and Testing" office.
