"Civil disobedience" is not a valid defense to any criminal case. If you break a valid law while attempting to make a point, you can still be charged with disobeying that law.

In the class, the instructor is in charge. outside of class you are free to listen to what you want. It sounds like there is more to this story. ie: sounds like the instructor knows what type of music you are listening too and apparently does not like your choice of music.
