If my memory serves me well, you cannot mix tkinter and pygame.
Both want their event loop running. I once looked into this
and to my knowledge no one succeeded in embedding one into the other.
And I won't try using just music.play without setting up pygame.
I don't think this would work, but that's just a guess.
