You will create a new sprite that will play sounds depending on where the user places their mouse-pointer, or interacts with the scene.

The person or company that creates an image, either using graphics programs or with a camera, owns the rights to that image. This means that you can not use the image without asking their permission first.
Sometimes images have a license that allows them to be used without asking for permission first. Search engines like Google allow you to search for these types of images.
Most of these images will require you to attribute the creator. So you should add a link to the website you found them on; you could add this in to the Notes and Credits section of you project page.
Debug: You may have done a lot of debugging already! Did you change the direction your sprite was pointing? Did you solve any problems? Think about all the debugging you have already done to create your musical instrument.
