Again, music has been specifically mentioned to be haraam. There is a hadeeth where Rasoolullah lists things that are haraam which will be made halaal by later generations - and this prophecy is coming true, with many people throwing their backs behind the things listed in that hadeeth, from wearing silk to listening to music. Music was not part of Islamic culture and the most successful of Muslim generations, the salafus saleh, despised music and considered it haraam. One of the positions of the Hanafi school is as follows: if someone is walking by a house and they hear music coming from inside, they have the right to break into this person's house and break his musical instrument. This was actually the position of the tabi' tabi'een, the position of one of the greatest students of Imam Abu Hanifa . So, to even permit a person from committing something that is otherwise haraam - i.e. breaking and entering - and then allowing that person to destroy the musical instrument, which otherwise would be haraam - i.e. destruction of property - shows how much music was seen as an evil in society and sadly, many Muslims cannot see it for what it is. So we can tell how stern the positions of Muslims have been with regards to music. You are welcome to hold on to your opinion, but know that the majority opinion of the ulama of the past and the opinion that we see directly from the salafus saleh is that of it being haraam.
