@MonicaCellio It is broader, but it also addressed this specific question exactly, with a source (well, at least a name of someone who prohibited it).– רבות מחשבותDec 28, 2017 at 16:43

In shiur this year the Rav said that the minor fasts should be treated at least like the nine days. In fact, originally they considered making it like Tish'a B'Av before deciding to make it only during the day and not forbid leather shoes. However, it is a day of mourning to an extent.– sabbahillelDec 28, 2017 at 23:49

Nitei Gavriel - Chanuka - 60:6 says that one should not listen to music on a fast day.

1The Rokeiach is quite a big work. Does he give anything more precise?– Double AA ♦Jan 2, 2015 at 1:44

1The Kitzur Shulchan Aruch doesn't say this. He says (my translation): "The essence is not the fasting... the fast is only a preparation for teshuva. Therefore, when fasting, people who go on trips/strolls and while away their time with useless activities have grasped the secondary aspect of the fast and abandoned its primary aspect." Clearly, he does not indicate a formal prohibition against listen to music, as implied by the Nit'ei Gavriel.– FredJan 2, 2015 at 21:45

1Nitei Gavriel simply feels it is inappropriate. Here is his reference to Hilchos Bein Hametzarim, where he states this clearly and brings the source for the Rokeach hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=46439&st=&pgnum=76 Dec 28, 2017 at 16:53
In the Shulchan Aruch it does not say that music is prohibited on the 10th of Tevet, however the Mishnah Berurah (550:6) writes that a person who can (and is a ba’al nefesh) should preferably accept the stringencies of Tisha Be’Av even for the other fasts. (source)
That one should not listen to live music on Tisha B'Av is codified by many later authorities and it is assumed to be absent from the SA because there’s a general prohibition of Listening to Music (ibid)

1Are you implying that there is a formal restriction on music on 9 Av? Source?– Joel KDec 28, 2017 at 16:25

This would be a more meaningful answer if you quoted the tremendous chiddush of the article that this means the 9 days, as well as providing a source that there is a formal restriction of listening to music then. Dec 28, 2017 at 16:47

1Excellent edit, +1! That itself should be the answer for all fast days. Dec 28, 2017 at 16:48
