There are many types of synesthesia relating to music. The links lead to the pages on this site about each specific type (or subtype).
Synesthesias with a musical inducer and a VISUAL concurrent:
Tone-colour (musical note-colour)
Timbre-colour (musical instruments)
Timbre-shape (timbre-colour and timbre-shape often occur together)
Song-colour and musical genre-colour
Voice-colour
(for singing voices, with colour and other visual concurrents such as shape)
Images seen in creative/musical trance (a phenomenon that could perhaps be considered a type of musical synesthesia)
Synesthesias with a musical inducer and NON-VISUAL concurrents:
Sound-texture (in response to music)
Personification of musical sequences (tones, chords, keys, timbre, melody)
Auditory-olfactory (timbre-smell, tone-smell or musical note-smell, chord-smell, key signature-smell, song-smell, musical genre-smell)
Voice-smell (for voices heard singing; mentioned on the page on auditory-olfactory synesthesia)
Auditory-gustatory (includes timbre-taste, tone or musical note-taste, chord-taste, key signature-taste, song-taste, musical genre-taste)
Voice-taste (for voices heard singing)
Auditory-motor
(when sounds trigger involuntary movements; related to auditory-tactile synesthesia)
Synesthesias with DIFFERENT INDUCERS and AUDITORY CONCURRENTS (musical notes, tones or frequencies)
Taste-musical notes (gustatory-auditory synesthesia)
Smell-musical notes (olfactory-auditory synesthesia)
Pain-musical notes (pain-sound synesthesia)
Other phenomena and types of synesthesia related to music in some way:
Dance steps-colour (see either kinetics-colour or coloured sequence synesthesia)
Music triggering figurative images, landscapes or “music videos” (not considered a type of synesthesia although it can accompany it)
