Ancient Tseer music centered around poetry and rhythm. As such, poetic structure such as rhyme, meter, and narrative flow contributed to much of the rhythm and thus the "music".

Dances were accompanied by rhythmic percussion. Religious ceremonies used dances and incantations instead of music as such.
