The definition of a vowel in music is the same as in any other context: it is one of the alphabet letters "a," "e," "i," "o," or "u." However, in music, they are referenced most often when discussing how to sing certain vowel sounds. For example, many choral directors and singing coaches recommend singing the "e" vowel through an "ah" shape of the mouth, particularly when singing Classical Music. Many also use a series of vowel sounds with a diatonic scale for warm up before singing, since it is easy to carry out a pitch on a vowel, while it is not possible on consonants such as "k" and "t," at least not in English. If this wasn't exactly what you meant by your question, perhaps you were referring to actual note names. In the musical alphabet, the notes "a" and "e" are the only ones which would be considered vowels.
