鄒族之音樂非常豐富,歌唱方式包括單音唱法與和聲唱法。民間歌謠是以「山」為背景,旋律優美,沉穩渾厚,在族人的生活中,扮演著極重要的角色。
祭歌: 鄒族歌謠在族人的生活中扮演極其重要的角色,諸如民俗活動、信仰觀念、征戰儀式、神話傳說、部落倫理等,都和歌謠或多或少地發生關聯。部落最重要的祭儀戰祭裡,整個儀式的重心都和祭歌相聯,若無沒有祭歌,戰祭便是徒具形式的團體活動;因此不論是迎神降臨、送神歸天、歌舞頌神等,每個環節都要靠祭歌來完成。
祭歌的曲目包括了迎神曲、送神曲、戰歌(快、慢)、歷史頌、勇士頌、天神頌、青年頌、亡魂曲等。其中迎神曲、戰歌(慢)、歷史頌、勇士頌、青年頌在達邦及特富野均有各自的歌曲,兩社在祭歌的演唱順序不同。但每首祭歌都有領唱人,過去由征帥擔任,或由勇士領唱。現在征帥及勇士已不存在,則由族人長老或會唱的年輕族人領唱,但婦女則禁止領唱祭歌。
