Well, I used to play the piano about 15 years ago (good God, I sound old), but I always had a keen ability to play "by ear," as the saying goes. In more recent years I've tinkered with writing a few short tunes. Nothing serious, but it's something I occasionally do in my spare time when I'm particularly inspired by a jingle in my head. (I personally use a free program called Anvil for composing purposes, if you can call what I do composing. It's hardly the most sophisticated piece of composition software, but it's also free, so who am I to complain?)

Also, readers are absolutely essential, I agree. What impact can a writer have on the world without someone to read his or her words? We can just say I'm selfish for picking "Writer."
