Sergio? Canonically stated to be a bad singer, and he never bothered to try to learn to play something.

Nikki I think still remembers how to play the recorder, but that was school-related stuff that she isn't following up. Probably a decent enough singer, but that isn't anything she practices either.

Corolla would be actually pretty good with an electronic keyboard... it helps when it would be an holographic electronic keyboard that's actually a subprogram of... well, herself. Not so good with signing - her singing voice feels "artificial" like a badly set up Hatsune Miku.

Dafydd is Dafydd, and Huinesoron has written his own theme tune song (as revealed in... a mission that's not out yet).

Oh, and Kaitlyn says that the Canon Librarian plays piano, 'of course'. (And that she can totally picture Steve Dimond with a tuba...)

hS

He only played the flute (bad), and only in middle school. However, he does like songs, provided the lyrics and/or music appeal to him, and soundtracks for some video games or animes. And ridicule be damned, wouldn't mind singing some of them at a karaoke. Or finding a way to replace te Beeep of his console with music linked to the continuum missionned(nope, too much speshul and kewl).

Marina is slightly out of touch with music for the moment, and she (for a time) played guitar. She can still enjoy it, though.

He's still learning, but he can do it. Alleb favors the flute, and Jesse can sing all the old cowboy songs. Mia bangs on the drums every so often. I should start a mini-band. ^_^

And of course, Doktor Trollenfisch ist amazink on zer sousaphone. Echt klasse! =]

The rest of my agents all sing a bit. Lola when she's drunk, Algie when he's really drunk, the upcoming Abiathar and Cold Compress when they're really, really drunk. The Notary, on the other hand, only sings when there's nobody else around, which is a good deal for all concerned. =]

I've never envisioned my agents as being particularly musical, apart from a partially-written interlude where Xericka and Gremlin get plastered and sing karaoke. Hang on a sec…

* * * a bit of skimming later… * * *

Wow, that needs some rewriting. Not quite sure what I was thinking when I came up with that particular idea.

Xericka, James, and Danny would probably have the most patience when it comes to actually learning music. Gremlin likely sings, but not in any sort of professional manner (see the "drunk karaoke" thing I mentioned before.) Laura might be willing to have a go at a few rounds of Guitar Hero at a party, but her musical career would pretty much end there.

Rina, since she was based on me, would've been able to play piano and French horn and wasn't a half-bad singer, but I don't know how many of those skills she retained as the Aviator. though considering how high her glitter levels are...

Zeb isn't very musical, but I think that's only because he's not tried it before. Aaand now I'm imagining him learning how to play the cello or something. Halp.

Alex, being based on my brother, also plays piano and French horn, though with all the gadgets he repairs on a daily basis I don't think staying in practice would be his top priority.

Farilan doesn't have time for music, end of story. :P

Derik and Jenni are explicitly musical. They both sing, and Derik can play just about any simple percussion, wind, or string instrument if he decides to. Brass instruments are probably beyond him, not being common on Pern.

Gall likes music, particularly the kind you can belt at the top of your lungs with a bunch of other drunk people. She's also partial to sung epics. I don't know if she's a particularly good singer, but she's probably better than she usually bothers to perform.

Nume has nary a musical bone in his body, but he's not a music-hater. His taste runs toward Led Zeppelin and the like. He thinks disco is evil (but then, who doesn't?).

Ilraen simply wouldn't know where to begin. He probably likes classical music, especially the pastoral sort.

~Neshomeh is a music-lover and thus thinks about these things.

But Des, being a self-insert, probably knows to play the piano. Badly. The rest probably never touched a musical instrument.
