Protagonist finds him/herself in alternate universe and finds magic is real

[Charlotte]

Ok, here goes!! MC somehow finds him/herself in an alternate universe where magic works but only through music?song? rhyming? Sorry, I know, very vague! It been nagging at me! Read a very long time ago, maybe 10yrs ago. Not kids book, but YA/NA age?

The Hero from Otherwhere (Hero from Otherwhere) or The Incompleat Enchanter (The Incomplete Enchanter) are my guesses.

[Michele]

Piers Anthony Split Infinity?

or Christopher Stasheff Her Majesty's Wizard?

[Tathariell]

More adult than ya, but maybe The Soprano Sorceress?
