This skill represents your ability to perform artistically or use your voice effectively.
Training
The best experience per time ratio is achieved by finding an instrument/song combination that is played "with only the slightest hint of difficulty."
Song options
scales (ruff), arpeggios (rudiments), ditty, folk, ballad, waltz, lullaby, march, jig, lament, wedding, hymn, rumba, polka, battle, reel, elegy, serenade, minuet, psalm, dirge, gavotte, tango, tarantella, bolero, nocturne, requiem, fantasia, rondo, aria, sonata, and concerto.
Mood modifiers
Off-key and halting styles will make all songs easier to play. Confident and masterful styles will make all songs more difficult to play.
Off-key scales will teach with any instrument, no matter how difficult.
Percussion
Percussion instruments are played by striking, scraping or shaking them. Some require special tools such as tippers to play, while others are simple enough to play in one hand. Similarly, some have skins that require tuning and can be broken, necessitating replacement before playing again.

Voice types display with use of the SING, CHANT, and CHORUS commands.
