Twin A plays the piano and Alto Saxophone, He plays for him to de-stress after a tough day. He has an ear for music and picks up new music very easily.

Twin B plays Viola primarily, but also plays violin and cello. He is much more concerned with playing with technique and theory. He is very interested in playing classical music and appreciates a good classical performance. Twin B does not pick up on new music as easily, but works hard to learn it.
