This is a really bad example. There's so much science surrounding music it's ridiculous. There are of course the physical aspects of the instruments and how they function to produce sounds. There's a whole pile of physics right there. Next there is our perception of sound, which is likewise in the realm of science. Neverminding the more obvious example of the mechanics of the ear, the question of why specific intervals, chord progressions, textures of sound and rhythm invoke particular sensations in us is a scientific question. It has to do with our brain and how our brain processes, decodes and assigns meaning to sound. It can all be described and understood scientifically. There is no aspect of our experience that is outside the realm of science because there is no aspect of our experience which is not a result of our brain. Our brains are a part of nature.
