Traditional court music of Burma (a.k.a Myanmar), developed from Southeast Asian, Hindu and Chinese influences. It is usually based on a pentatonic scale similar to the Chinese one, devoid of harmony and puts high emphasis on melody. An ancient collection of songs called Mahagita is a root and a source of constant inspiration of Burmese Classical music.

Burmese Classical Music can be roughly divided into four categories:
- Solo Saung harp music, in modern times also adaptations of Saung harp repertoire for a piano tuned according to Burmese scale
- Sidaw music: a set of drums accompanied by a large oboe
- Chamber music: female singer accompanied by a harp, flute and zither
- Hsaing Waing ensemble: an orchestra composed of gong-chimes, drums and an oboe, with a rare addition of flute, harp, zither or violin.
