From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



According to the Oxford dictionary, a musician is a person who plays a musical instrument, especially as a profession, or is musically talented.[1] Musicians are performers of music whether by hobby, or for professional concerts and performances. A musician is not defined as being paid in every dictionary or encyclopedia, but most emphasize the importance of this aspect of the art.[2] Musicians can be of any music style not limited to classical, orchestral or choral, and musicians can have skills in many different styles outside of their professional experience.


Examples of musicians' skills are the orchestration of music, improvisation, rapping, conducting, singing, recording, composing, arranging, and/or being an instrumentalist.[3]
