Music - The gift that gives a believer the capability to present personal witness and inspiration to others through instrumental music, singing, or dancing. 
The special gift whereby the Spirit enables certain Christians to praise God through music in such a way as to enhance the worship experience of other believers. It gives the believer the desire and capability to express personal faith and provide inspiration and comfort through the playing of a musical instrument, singing, or dancing. The spiritual aspect of the gift is revealed as the gift bearer gives witness to love and praise for the Lord, and thus glorifies God. Those listening or watching become inspired to feel the presence and majesty of God when music, song, or dance uplifts their soul in a manner that brings them closer to their Lord. 
People with this gift: 
- sing or play a musical instrument quite well, and enjoy it 
- have special joy singing praises to God, either alone or with other people 
- feel secure in the fact that their musical ability will be of benefit to other people with whom they come in contact
