Not all of them, just the interesting ones (or some of them).  Then
again, maybe programming languages aren't your thing--that's fine too.

Those aren't interesting once you're past the first one or two of them ;-).
For something interesting, I'd say try Lisp or Scheme if Python
isn't your thing.

Unfortunately the analogy isn't perfect.  You receive the music in the
form of a printed score.  There is no way to listen to someone else
performing it.  The only way to hear it is to play it yourself, so being
able to hear it and being able to play it are the same thing, if that
makes the idea clearer.
