Montana is a state of the United States. It has a long history of folk pioneer and cowboy songs. In modern Montana, two of the most prominent musical institutions are the Great Falls Symphony Orchestra, which was established in 1958, and the Bozeman Symphony Orchestra, which was established in 1963. The Helena Symphony was founded in 1955.

Post-secondary educational institutions which offer a program or major in music include the University of Montana - Missoula and Montana State University - Billings.

Ska music was very popular among Montana's youth in the 1990's, including professionally organized concerts, but this trend has been replaced by less-frequent amateur punk and rock bands.

Montana has two state songs: "Montana" and "Montana Melody".
