There is at least one instance of Turin making music that I can think of immediately: the
Laer Cu Beleg, or Song of the Great Bow, that he sings for Beleg after his death. But I'd have to agree that one gets the impression that Tuor was the more musical of the two cousins.

However, as far as Tuor is concerned, one of the most important musical moments of his life story is probably when he sings to Earendil about the Sea in The Sil.

You may already be aware of this, but a version of this song was actually written by Tolkien and can be found in HoMe volume IV. It reflects a slightly older version of the story (the chief difference is that Ulmo appeared to Tuor in Nan Tathren rather than Nevrast), but it's quite a nice poem. I tried to set it to music once, but found it hard to get a handle on the formal structure of the song, since the poem consists of couplets without stanzaic divisions.
