'shine" is correct for American English, I think.
As a male piano student I experienced a bit of this from a female teacher.
First, when I was about to take a conservatory exam and my (male) teacher saw who was going to examine me, he said, "Don't be surprised if she touches you a bit, and don't let it put you off." She did and I didn't.
Nothing sexual, just quite a few pats and squeezes.
As a university level piano major, I was assigned the same female teacher, and all was kosher. Until one day a guest pianist was showing off in one of the rooms just off the main hall and a small group had gathered around the door to the room where he was playing.
I joined the group on the very outside, with my back to the open hallway, and very soon felt a hand expertly slide between my legs from behind and give me a gentle squeeze in the goolies. I looked over my shoulder and my piano teacher smiled at me.
It was the 1960s, and I considered it par for the course. I had already switched my major and she no longer taught me, so I suppose I was "fair game".
One of Ms. CfL's piano teachers was Robert Helps, who, I believe, got a respected reputation for playing contemporary works. Anyway, she told me that he was very. . . uh. . . physical at the lessons - but not in a sexual way. He would do things like roughly grab her by the shoulders (from the back) and push her toward the keyboard as she was playing. Apparently, there was a method in his madness, and she considered this method legitimate. I forget though what he was trying to accomplish.
