"Make music"?

Hello,

On the basis of what I read, I think that "to make music" can mean "to compose music" and "to play music" as well, but I'd like to be sure, so I ask - could you, please, let me know if that is true? Thank you.

Hi,

I've only heard 'make music' used to mean 'play music'.

Usually, if three or more people are said to be making music, it would be understood that they were playing music.
But often creating popular music is a collaborative effort.
I would agree that "writing music" is a far more common expression to describe this than "making music," even when the music is not written down. They're writing a new song.
