Music is rich with comic possiblities and musicians are notorious
for jokes at their own expense or (more usually) the expense of
fellow musicians (cf. "drummer", "banjo player", "violist"..)
Please share with us your favorite music humor.

It's not brilliant, but I kind of liked this joke, recently
posted in rec.humor.funny, but cleaned up here to remove
spelling and grammar problems..
A young composition student in one of the more prestigious
conservatories in Russia is running out of time for an important
project. Over the coming weekend the school orchestra will be
gathered on stage to read through all the composition students'
symphonies for the first time in front of the professor.
In a fit of last-minute inspiration he goes to the library and
checks out one of his professor's symphonies, and writes out
the whole work backwards. That weekend, after his hand-copied
parts have been distributed, he waits nervously as the orchestra
looks over the music.
The conductor gets into place and readies the orchestra, and on
his downbeat, out comes the opening fanfare to Tchaikovsky's 4th.

After years of study, scientists have just recently discovered that the
violin and the viola are actually the same size. It's just that the
violinists' heads are so much bigger...

What is the difference between a violin and a viola? The viola burns longer!

Those who sing, do.
Those who cannot are given an instrument to play.
Those who cannot are given 2 sticks to beat drums with.
Those who cannot have one stick taken away and step on the podium.
