Answer:

Aluminum generally forms Al3+ ions. Oxygen generally forms O2− ions. So when the metal and the non-metal make music together they form a neutral compound, i.e. Al2O3 (i.e. 2×3−3×2=0) . The ionic bonding is so strong (due to charge magnitude) in this material that it is reasonably insoluble.
