Which preposition to use here- "Il est très noveau à/dans la chanson française."

What I am trying to say is 'He is quite new to 'la chanson française'.

Also, I am sort of confused about 'la chanson française'- I know it's a category of music but is it specifically 'chanson' instead of 'musique'? Are they not interchangeable?

edit: appreciate the replies.
