Actually, it's all three and even more!  It entertains many, various forms being somewhat less "artful" than others (IMHO), is certainly considered by many to be fun, either as entertainment or participatory, and in many cases is also certainly an art form.\n\nHowever, participation in creation of music is also an emotional activity, as well as a significant amount of work.  I sing bass with the local choral society, and our 10 minute participation in the Mahler 2nd Symphony is absolutely intense, requiring great strength to sing low notes at very quiet dynamics, while still projecting to the audience, and to sing very high notes at great volume while maintaining control and clarity of sound.  One must demonstrate emotional content and intensity to the audience, supporting ALL the sound with controlled diaphragm and breath support.  Simultaneously, one must read both German words and musical notes and controls while also following the directions of the conductor. \n\nSo, IMHO music is all you spoke of, and much, much more.  Yet, for me, I'd rather lose my sense of sight than my hearing, as I can still learn and enjoy music as a blind man, while were I deaf I'd lose something I hold very dear.

If you can manage it, share an event together.  Take him to a comic book convnetion or an arcade and give him fifty bucks to blow on anything he wants, no matter how stupid it might seem to you.  If he is handicapped, he probably desparately wants to do things "normal" people do.  Help him spend a day doing things he can't on his own.

I teach a couple kindergarten music classes and they're not too far beyond preschool, so maybe some of these things will work for you too.\n\nI play the "hot and cold" game except with loud and soft.  One student hides an item in the room.  Another student looks for it.  As he/she gets closer to the item, the rest of the class claps louder.  As they get further away, they clap more softly.  This teaches them dynamics.\n\nI also play a singing game where we use a stuffed animal that correlates with the season.  Right now I am using a turkey.  One student puts their back to the rest of the class.  I give the turkey to a student that is behaving well.  The entire class sings "Who has the turkey?" on Mi - Do - Fa- Mi - Do on the following rhythm. \nquarter, eighth, eighth, quarter, quarter.  (One syllable per pitch)  After the entire class sings "Who has the turkey" twice, the child that actually has it sings it twice by themselves.  The child that has their back to the class then tries to guess who has it by recognizing their voice.  The kids love it!  Sorry if I couldn't explain it well.  You could use whatever melody you want to sing, you don't have to use the one that I attempted to explain using solfege.
