As I said in the Déjà Vu thread: A musician is a person who makes music. If singers were not musicians, then songs would not be music. And that, to me, is absurd. Sure, that's one definition of musician, but another is someone who plays an instrument. It's not uncommon to use the word to categorize those who play instruments from those that sing, or write songs, or conduct. It just depends on what sense you're using it in. That is an interesting viewpoint. As a person who has played sundry instruments since the age of four, including piano recorder, clarinet and harp, I STILL don't consider myself a 'musician'. In other words, although I have a level of proficiency in many musical areas, I don't think that my proficiency level warrants the term 'musician'. |
