The study aimed at establishing the fact that ambiguity could serve as a communication device; and also the study was to discuss the role of ambiguity in performance of music. The study adopted descriptive and case study approaches of the qualitative research methods. Random and purposive sampling methods were used to sampled Eighty (80) respondents drawn from among Language teachers, Music teachers, Performing artistes as well as Popular music enthusiasts. Interview, questionnaire and observation were the research instruments employed in the study. It was revealed that, the use of ambiguity in music is a communicative phenomenon which seeks to inform, educate and entertain members in society. Besides, the use of ambiguity in music is to attract larger audience to show command over the use of language to create humour and also to give branding to the musicians. It was recommended that, ambiguity should be used to communicate pressing issues going on in Ghanaian society. Poets and musicians should craft their messages well enough in order to expose wrongdoings in Ghanaian society through the use of linguistic devices such as ambiguity and share with the larger audience.
