Okay, so this is a random thought that just hit me, and I'm going to make all of you suffer for it.
Dwarves should have a rich musical tradition, mostly vocals, but some strong percussion
As for what made me thing this: Disney's Snow White and the 7 Dwarves, The Hobbit, and tons of other media sources.
In universe why? Work songs. Lots of cultures have a musical tradition that evolve from work songs. And Given one of the biggest things about Dwarven culture is Their mining, this make especial sense. They use the songs to keep time and make sure they work in time with one another. Some songs, about caution or sadness, would be used to prevent them from striking in perfect synchronization, and generating dangerous harmonics in less stable tunnels. Tons of professions take up this habit of singing to keep time. from smiths pounding an billot in perfect rhythm, to chefs using the pacing of a song to keep the recipe and timing of the food. (needless to say Traditional Dwarven songs can be HOURS long)
this would also later evolve into singing magic into their creations, using the song as part of the verbal componants of a ritual.
Historians and Librarians also take up the habit, and thus older and traditional Dwarven Literature is written in meter and verse, not that this occurs to translators.
Most races don't recognize dwarven appreciation for music because the stronger empahsis is on being in time, they care much less about harmony, than they do for staying with the rhythm.
Thus while most Dwarven musicians are always off pitch and the instruments can seem untuned, EVERY Dwarven musician can keep time better than a metronome. Of course great Dwarven musicians sound wonderful to all ears, but as long as you can keep time, Dwarves never discourage you from singing.
I would think Dwarf music should be bass-heavy since low frequencies attenuate a lot slower than high frequencies (which is why when people drive by with the volume turned up, all you can hear is the bass). So the person in the next mine shaft might be able to hear the beat but could never hear the melody.
The other thing I would add is that "communal singing" for rhythmic, monotonous tasks (like "swinging a pick") is probably pretty common in Dwarf culture, think Sea Shanties.
It's also possible that dwarf hearing is capable of hearing a much lower range of frequencies of sound than humans, because of the time spent underground. People can hear from about 20 Hz to 20 kHz, but some birds (like pigeons) can hear as low as .5 Hz.
IMO, dwarf music might emphasize percussion instruments to align with "traditional" activities like mining and smith-work; or marching for warriors. As a side note, I would expect dwarves to have developed "tap-codes" or other forms of percussion signaling (similar to horn calls) for use underground.

new Dwarven headcannon occured to me, it's a bit off topic but it's my thread I'll Necro if I want to.
Not all Dwarves are miners and smiths. This is a mistaken impression because the dwarven words regarding occupation are more focused on the overall project, than the specific task being performed. Many Dwarves who proudly, and among dwarves accurately, name themselves as Miners were water bearers, who's whole job focused around getting water and restorative drinks to the Dwarves deep in the mines working and sweating. Others who say they are miners, were medics tending to injuries minor and major that occur.
Dwarves who say they are warriors may carry weapons on the front lines, or they may be the Dwarf back in the fortress shining armor and sharpening swords as a quartermaster for poorer recruits who don't have family heirlooms.
A dwarf may call themselve a sword maker, and we might them as a jewler because they whole focus is the filigree and inlaying of precious metals in the handle, guard and pommel.
And they would all be welcome to tell their tales among other dwarves and call themselves Miners, Warriors, and Smiths. because the Dwarves understand each of these things is necessary for the whole project.
