Wishing you a warm welcome to the forum by the way
Snakes are certainly capable of hearing the human voice and would be able to hear what we call music, but music only makes sense to us because of our ability to detect rhythm. To a snake (and by extension, most animals), music would sound like a collection of sounds, and would not elicit an emotional response in the way it does for us.
My snakes respond to the sound of me entering the room, sometimes they'll come to the front of their enclosures excitedly. I've trained mine to respond to tapping so they'll come to me on command. Reptiles respond well to operant conditioning, they're more intelligent than people give them credit for.
Oh and thank you for the welcome
