Classical music as a broad category of music you would find in a record store or a Spotify genre search often isn't capitalized (e.g. "The classical saxophonist sounded terrible"). In academia, it's commonly called "art music" or, more specifically, "Western art music."
Terms referring to particular periods--Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modernist, etc.--are often capitalized or hyphenated with "era" (e.g. "Schumann is an excellent Romantic-era song composer" vs "Barry White is an excellent romantic song composer").
