Alright, this is going to be based on a cyoa I tried doing on a different forum that never took off. I still remember the idea, so why not start it tonight?
Please note that any resemblance to the generic cyoa is purely coincidental and totally not indicative of my lack of creativity. That being said, I can't think of a fancy way to ask this but what's our musical hero's name and instrument of choice?

Your name is Rhiannon Anyia Melodie and you wake up in a steel-grey void. There's no walls, no floor, nothing but lights floating around you and vague shadows that remind you of a forest. Experimentally, you try a few flips and finds that you have full freedom of movement.
Then, out of the corner of your eye, you see an Oboe, silver with gold trimmings. Upon floating over and picking it up you hear a note, a familiar note, the note all the songs you've written start with. A song begins, one you've heard before in your dreams. The lights dance to the music and you begin to play along on the oboe, the final part in an otherworldly orchestra.
You wake up from your dream in your bedroom. There are walls, a floor, and a roof above you. Your room is a simple one; a collection of instruments on the bedside drawers, a Wii U and computer set next to a TV, posters for your favorite anime and movies on the walls. All the comforts of a cheap apartment.
Well, time to start your day. What should you do first?

Well, time to start your day. No it isn't. Play on the Wii U for as long as possible until you go back to sleep.

You decide to play some For Glory for a bit. You're kicking serious butt with Lucas when some Lil Mac player destroys you. After that you play some Dr Luigi until you decide that you're done with the Wii U for a bit, but you're not tired enough to go back to sleep. You decide to examine the posters a bit. Let's see, there's a Saint Seyia poster, a Harry Potter poster, a BitF Plays Pokemon poster, A Bill Cyphzzzzz
You wake up an hour later. You're not sure what happened, but you're definitely not counting posters. You figure you ought to head outside soon. Maybe you'll head to the store and get some game music.
nao wat du?

Her name is Luna and she plays the electric guitar. She is also has dragon wings. Welcome to the party. Fashionably late I see. You bike to the store and pick up music from Ace Attorney and Xenoblade. However I'm doing lazy to look up names, so you just get the soundtracks. You also pick up Splatoon and play it 5eva decide to drop by the park on your way home. You decide to go for a walk through the trees and play a song on your panpipes. It's a simple one you wrote yourself called "Light My Way" that always makes you feel better. As soon as you finish you see a light through the trees. Light blue, highlighted with grey, just like in your dream. Walking over you see a ring of stones on the ground that wasn't there before. Inside is a handful of small green gems and one large red one, about the size of your palm, sitting next to a piece of paper. What should you do? Examine them closer? Ignore them? Ether way I'll wrest control from you at a crucial point.

((Yeah, yeah. I should have updated sooner.))
You decide to look at the gems closer. What else? Silly me.
The smaller gems are around the size of a coin and have a design on the top that appears to be a J superimposed with a C. You decide to name them JC Pennies, but have a feeling they won't be very useful to you. The larger gem appears to simply be a normal gem, albeit one cut in the shape of an octagon. It's about half an inch thick.
You also decide to check the paper just to avoid wasting anyone's time. It appears to be sheet music for a familiar song, although you're not sure why. The title reads "Sonata of Another World". You realize that the stones remind you of a Faery Ring, and knowing what to do, you step inside and begin playing the song. Runes glow on the stones and a swirl of green light surrounds you, blocking off your vision.
When the light clears you find yourself in the ruins of a dungeon, or perhaps a buried stronghold. On the walls tapestries depict warriors in battle, each armed with a magical instrument, and murals show notes of songs in a notation you can't read. There seem to be various nooks and crannies around, and a treasure chest sits in the middle of two doors. Behind you sits... The gold and silver Oboe from your dream.
Do something you must. Ehehehehe!

Oh my gosh you mentioned my CYOA again
Grab the oboe and then look behind a few of the tapestries. Then check out the chest.

(How did this get so long with only two actions??)
Slowly you walk towards the Oboe. It sits upon a simple instrument stand, which sits upon a table, which sits upon the floor. Talking it, you turn it over in your hands and notice a small, rainbow colored gem on the back. You briefly wonder what the stone's for before deciding you dislike it and place a JC Penny in it's place. You have gained the Silver(and gold) Oboe! It doesn't seem like it would make a good weapon, but it is magic, so some songs have magical abilities. You decide to open the chest next. Inside you find two silver disks, about the size of frisbees and with small octagonal indentations on top.
Turning away from the chest, you decide to check the tapistries. They're high quality fabric, but age has faded some colors and worn holes in places. Looking behind one of a great bardbarian you find a small nook. Inside you find a two-toned coin, gold with a sun and the number 10 on the front and silver with a moon on the back. You quickly decide upon the name "Celestial Cent". You find a few more in another nook, one with a 5 and three with 1's on front.
Looking behind a tapestry with a suspicious shape and feet sticking out underneath you find a tall, somewhat regal man wearing a futuristic spacesuit with a simple logo on the front that appears to be Saturn in a cardboard box. He excitedly takes the Oboe and begins examining it. "Amazing! Like my Silver Sword! And the Jeweled Coins! This is great!" Another man comes out from another tapistry, not as tall and wearing a different symbol. "Well, your adventure is my favorite. And I've been wanting to make the JC Penny joke forever." You quickly ask who they are and they both realize you're there at the same time. "Uh, well, you see..." "Shhh Planetbox! She can't know who we are!" And with that, they disappear in different ways.
With that bit of silliness done, you decide to sit and think about what to do next. What do you decide? ((Poll time! Should I rip PB off completely and include magic spell stones? Y/N?))

lel I'd recommend using something other than stones (like songs or something) or using different elements, or using the elements in different ways. There would be other ways to activate the spells than just stones.
Look around for a way out of the room.
