Middle-class people in Shakespeare's day did play musical instruments, yes. That is why the very middle-class Baptista in Taming of the Shrew hires a music teacher to teach his daughters the lute.

What social class was Shakespeare in?

He was from a middle class family. His mother's family, the Ardens, were minor gentry, but the Shakespeares were tradesmen. His father had made application to have a grant of arms given to him, which would have raised him one level to "gentleman". Although John was not able to follow through with this project, William was. As soon as those arms were granted to the Shakespeare family, Shakespeare was entitled to call himself "William Shakespeare, gent." and was probably able to wear fancier clothing under the sumptuary laws of the time.
