I play bass guitar and harmonica. Always as an amateur.

Strong yes to the literal question asked; qualified yes if it has to be something other people would actually want to listen to.

I sing. People scream but I sing. The worst part of it is that I do have a good ear for music so I know how badly I sing. 😂

I noodle with ukelele, guitar, and piano.... but lately I've been experimenting a lot with figuring out how far you can get musically when your only tools are free apps on a mobile phone.

I do. Is this where I spam my SoundCloud? 😜

if by "make music" you mean "make up and sing tons of songs each day about my dog and her various biological processes", then yes.

I did GCSE Music to learn I have no sense of rhythm

Clap to a beat for more than 5 seconds, and I went off sync

After 2 years, my final recital of "the Final Countdown" had to broken into 30s chunks in order for me to complete it.

I whistle around the house, hum tunes in my head. I do have a midi keyboard on my desk, and one day I'll figure out Ableton, I promise.

I play a dozen or more instruments. None well, but I play for me.
I also sing, but only when I’m working alone because if I sing when I’m not alone, I end up alone.
Feels good to make music, even if it’s just for me.

Yesterday in the car I was thinking of an SATB setting for Psalm 23. Trying not to make it too schmaltzy.

The fact that I do not make music is something that I have long regretted.

Evan though I wasn't half-bad at it, I gave up piano at 8 and clarinet at 12. Music was something my older brother did really well. I just built go-karts and minibike. It's one of the dumbest things I ever did, and my biggest regret. (I mean, except for trusting a Morgan-Stanley broker during the dot.com bust.)

I used to play the piano & would like to again at some point. I’d also like to learn how to make music with technology. At the moment though, the closest I come is recording really amazing sounds (rain, crows) to voice memo.

Qualified by 'random tone-deaf extremely off-key singing of whatever tune is running through my head'

I have composed and released some music, and one of my songs was used in a TV show once, but I don't call myself a musician. At best I'm a hobbyist.

no Strong No!

music is discovered not made!

How often do you have to do something to say that you "do" it?

I've definitely made music. My band recorded music once upon a time: https://wrongsideofdawn.bandcamp.com

But if I've fallen out of the habit, and rarely play my instruments these days, is it something I'm doing, or something I have done? I have the ability to make music, but do I?

Qualified yes.

In the end, it was the sounds we made getting up from the sofa that was the *real music*...

~ CGI tear runs down face ~

I compose music. Does that count as making music? 😀 I'm not a great performer, I trained my computer to be a better piano player than I will ever be. So... Qualified yes, I guess.

“sometimes” https://youtu.be/2lCW9-rxv6Q 😅

I voted "Strong yes" even though I haven't been making actual music for years and my skills are rusty. (Incidentally, the year I was on identi.ca and joined Twitter (2009) was the year I joined February Album Writing Month and discovered just how good I am at songwriting.) The novel I'm working on is in its final draft, so I'll get back to my music soon.

At best I make noise.

I'm not seeing a lot of surprise in here.

I'm a qualified yes. I learned to fiddle a few years ago, but I don't practice any more. I sing to myself or with my family.
