I was playing around with it in-game and managed to figure it out.
So here's what you want to do. Have the accordion and sheet music both in your inventory. Drag and drop the sheet music on to the accordion, it should equip. Then put the accordion on your hotbar and left-click to bring up the music to play.
Heads up though, once you successfully play the sheet music it gets used (to cast the buff on the players in your vacinity).
Well I did specify 'accordion' so yeah. I haven't used the drums yet.
Different songs, even if listed as easy, have different difficulty levels.
To equip music on an accordion, drag music from your inventory to the accordion in your hot-bar. To equip music on the war drums, approach the drums and hit E or F to access the instrument's inventory. Drag the sheet music from your inventory to the one available slot in the inventory of the instrument.
The big difference between accordion and the drums is that when you attempt to play a song and fail, the accordion allows you to keep the music and try infinitely. The war drums consume the sheet music when you fail. Both instruments consume the sheet music when you succeed. For this reason I find the accordion much easier. Unlimited practice time!
To make a band, you left click with sheet music equipped to bring up the 'loading' or 'queuing' screen. If there is someone nearby with the same instrument, and the same sheet music loaded, they will have an option pop up to join the band. You can then play the same song together. When I tested this, I was spec'ed to music, the person who joined was not. Both songs can be heard played simultaneously, dynamically. It sounds quite cool.
The issue I have is that a successful completion of a song does not result in any buff. It doesn't seem to matter where or what song I play, or who I play it to, no onlookers receive any sort of benefit for any length of time. I am fully spec'ed into the tree with all duration and increase radius/distance buffs included. As I play, there is a green haze around the perimeter which I assume is my area of effect, but nothing happens. Upon successful completion, I get a 'party on dude', and some purple notes on nearby listeners, but that is it. It also does not appear to have any effect on NPC Crew members.
