Key Points

To develop and validate the Music USE (MUSE) questionnaire as a comprehensive instrument assessing both the quality and quantity of music engagement beyond formal music training.
Administered 8 background items and an initial pool of 124 engagement items to an initial cohort (N = 210; mean age = 37.55 years, SD = 11.31).
Refined and evaluated a 50-item version in an independent validation cohort (N = 124; mean age = 22.78 years, SD = 6.17).
Evaluated construct validity by assessing associations with the brief Music Experience Questionnaire, the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, and demographic data.
Initial analyses identified four primary engagement styles: Cognitive and Emotional Regulation, Engaged Production, Social Connection, and Dance and Physical Exercise.
Replication in the independent cohort further delineated 'Physical Exercise' and 'Dance' into distinct dimensions, yielding full 58-item and brief 32-item scale options.
Demonstrated convergent and construct validity through significant associations between MUSE engagement styles, background metrics, and emotion regulation scores.
