How can I prevent incoming calls from interrupting iTunes playback on iPhone?

I'm a music teacher who for once decided to use the Bluetooth function on my iPhone to a speaker. During a dress rehearsal, the music on my iTunes stopped playing because a call was coming in. I do not want that to happen during a concert. How can I turn off this feature so that an incoming call will not interfere with the music playing? Any help is appreciated! Gregg

Assuming the music is downloaded to the iPhone, turn off cellular and Wi-Fi communications in Control Panel.

settings - notification - phones - turn off allow notifications. Then re-enable after your concert is done.
