Hmm not sure if that is likely .... but a debate for elsewhere.

Arwen sings (rather poignantly) a song of Valinor in the court of the fountain at Minas Tirith.

From his name we might assume that Lindir in the Hall of Fire is a musician. Elrond carries a harp as he leaves Middle Earth. I always half assumed that music was something that all elves did at least competently and that the few named were remarkable even by their standards.
