“Persuade whoever you can among them with your enchanting voice, win them over with your soldiers on horseback and on foot, share in their wealth and children and make promises; the promises of the Satan are only deceptions. But you will have no power and influence over My true servants, Your Lord will be their true Guardian.” [Quran 17:64-65]

Yes
Music these days contains a lot of nasty words in the lyrics, so there I can see how it’s haram. I don’t know about music back in the day of the Prophet, but I don’t think something soothing like modern piano music or a classical guitar is haram. I guess you could say it takes you away from Allah, but I don’t think all music should be labeled as haram. Music is as old as time.
Alcohol is also as old as time. That doesn’t make it halal.
