That's an interesting observation,
Esty.
I don't recall any mention of Túrin doing any singing or instrumental playing. Perhaps Tuor's affinity toward music merely signified from Ulmo's point of view an openness on the part of the former to
listen to his heart, and not allow his physical surroundings and personal desires to rule all his actions. There is, I think, something special about singers and musicians IRL, and an argument could be made for Arda as well.
