Music Gamble (portrayed by Maddie Ziegler) is the titular character in the 2021 film Music. She is an autistic teenage girl, who processes the world in real time using fantasy musical numbers. As such, all of the film's song-and-dance numbers represent her perspective. Music rarely speaks, being mostly non-verbal, however making use of a few short sentences or words as she also has echolalia. Some of these include "Make you eggs (Make me eggs)", "Braid your hair (Braid my hair)", and "Rainbow (Can I have a rainbow snow-cone?)".

Appearance
Music mainly wears a single outfit throughout the film: white t-shirt and pants, a pink fanny pack, white velcro sneakers, and blue and white headphones. In the film's ending, she is seen wearing the same outfit entirely in sky blue. Music often has her dark blonde hair braided, both in reality and the musical numbers that take place inside her head, in which she is seen wearing braids in various styles.

Personality
Music is portrayed as a happy-go-lucky young girl, who finds enjoyment and happiness in life nearly all of the time, although she becomes extremely distressed when things go wrong. Music also appears to be very friendly, soon warming up to her sister Zu's presence in her life, and seeming to be good friends with neighbours Ebo and Felix.
