David Chen asked Rick Riordan:

I just started reading the Trials of Apollo. You write Apollo from a very musically literate perspective. Do you play any musical instruments yourself, either now or previously? If you played multiple instruments, which one was your favorite?

Rick Riordan I play guitar, not particularly well, but I did start my college career as a music major at North Texas State University before realizing I was better at writing prose than I was at music. Nevertheless, I've taken music theory, some keyboard, percussion, etc. so I have some grounding in music. Apollo would probably scoff at my amateurish knowledge, though.
