Question: Does performing music (with or without others) makes you a happier person?

Playing it definitely does. Performing it in front of other people is TBD (at the very least it at least counts as playing it :). Comment...

Question: Why don't you implement a login here? So that we can register our names. For example, if I register 'JohnGold' as my name. Only I can use this name and no one. And you can also recognize that its me asking you, not anyone else with my name.
