Music is a major part of Ukrainian culture, with a long history and many influences. From traditional [[folk music]], to [[classical music|classical]] and [[modern rock]], Ukraine has produced several internationally recognised musicians including [[Kirill Karabits]], [[Okean Elzy]] and [[Ruslana]]. Elements from traditional Ukrainian folk music made their way into Western music and even into modern [[jazz]]. Ukrainian music sometimes presents a perplexing mix of exotic melismatic singing with chordal harmony. The most striking general characteristic of authentic ethnic Ukrainian folk music is the wide use of minor modes or keys which incorporate augmented second intervals.<ref name="Sonevytsky 2019 p.">{{cite book |last=Sonevytsky |first=M. |title=Wild Music: Sound and Sovereignty in Ukraine |publisher=Wesleyan University Press |series=Music / Culture |year=2019 |isbn=978-0-8195-7915-7 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=um6rDwAAQBAJ |access-date=9 March 2022 |page=intro}}</ref>

During the Baroque period, music had a place of considerable importance in the curriculum of the [[Kyiv-Mohyla Academy]]. Much of the nobility was well versed in music with many Ukrainian Cossack leaders such as ([[Ivan Mazepa|Mazepa]], [[Semen Paliy|Paliy]], [[Antin Holovaty|Holovatyj]], [[Ivan Sirko|Sirko]]) being accomplished players of the [[kobza]], [[bandura]] or [[torban]].

The first dedicated musical academy was set up in [[Hlukhiv]] in 1738 and students were taught to sing and play violin and bandura from manuscripts. As a result, many of the earliest composers and performers within the Russian empire were ethnically Ukrainian, having been born or educated in Hlukhiv or having been closely associated with this music school.<ref name="Struk 1993 p. 1461">{{cite book |last=Struk |first=D.H. |title=Encyclopedia of Ukraine: Volume III: L-Pf |publisher=University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division |series=Heritage |year=1993 |isbn=978-1-4426-5125-8 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IkZEDAAAQBAJ&pg=PT1461 |access-date=9 March 2022 |page=1461}}</ref> Ukrainian classical music differs considerably depending on whether the composer was of Ukrainian ethnicity living in Ukraine, a composer of non-Ukrainian ethnicity who was a citizen of Ukraine, or part of the [[Ukrainian diaspora]].<ref name="Ukrainian people 2017">{{cite web |title=Traditional Ukrainian songs and music |website=Ukrainian people |date=16 May 2017 |url=https://ukrainianpeople.us/traditional-ukrainian-songs-and-music/ |language=uk |access-date=9 March 2022}}</ref>

Since the mid-1960s, Western-influenced pop music has been growing in popularity in Ukraine. Folk singer and harmonium player [[Mariana Sadovska]] is prominent. Ukrainian pop and folk music arose with the international popularity of groups and performers like [[Vopli Vidoplyasova]], [[Dakh Daughters]], [[Dakha Brakha]], [[Ivan Dorn]] and [[Okean Elzy]].
