Nebuchadnezzar Call For Worship: Daniel 3 v 4 - 5

Daniel 3:4 "Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,"

This leaves no one out. It includes all people who are near enough to hear the herald. Notice, also, this is not a request, but a command.

Daniel 3:5 "[That] at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:"

The children of Israel worshipped the golden calf on the way to the Promised Land. They danced, and sang and the Bible speaks of revelry going on. The music seems to accompany worship of false gods, as well as the True God. 
Music prepares the heart to receive a message. We are told over and over to worship God with songs of praise. There is nothing wrong with music. There could be something wrong with the type of music we listen to. To fall down and worship a false god is the height of abomination.
