1) websearch "vanessa mae" and you would have heard her work in less time that it took to type the message. Estimate: less than a minute.

2) websearch "flex" and you would have understood what that means in even less time.

Totality of what you wrote. It does not convey any meaning regarding whether someone is an "active instrumentalist."

Best.
