Is music a science?

No. It is important to appreciate that 'science' is not a thing, it is a method of obtaining better descriptions of aspects the physical world around us. The scientific method involves the following: 1. Use new or existing observations, interpret them and produce a theory that describes their origin and cause. 2. Use the theory to predict one or more observations in the future. 3. Test the theory by ensuring that it is consistent with new observations and that its predictions are correct. 4. If the theory is not consistent with further observations or its predictions fail, test to see whether it can be modified to account for the new facts. Go back to step 2. 5. If it cannot be satisfactorily modified, the theory is incorrect and a fundamentally new theory is required. Go back to step 1 By no stretch of the imagination could music be described as having any of those steps, so does not qualify as a science.
