Everything about Musician totally explained
A
musician is a person who plays or writes
music. Musicians can be classified by their role in creating or performing music:
A musician can be
self-taught, or learned by formal education in a
conservatory or by a
private instructor or a
guru.
Musicians can be
amateur or
professional. The meaning of these terms is, however, somewhat diffuse. Musicians' have individual levels of activity and ambition in music, which often makes music both a
hobby and a
profession. Many professional musicians define the core of their musicianship as a state of "being married" to music, which suggests an active and progressive relationship even and especially after finishing formal education.
A
professional musician is, however, usually defined as one who is paid to perform, compose or act in any other productive manner related to music, and whose main source of income is this activity. They may work
freelance, enter into a
contract with a
studio or
record label, be employed by a professional
ensemble such as a
symphony orchestra or
big band, or by an institution such as a
church or
business (such as a
jazz club or a
bar).
In contrary to common belief, professional and amateur musicians are not opposite definitions, and neither contains a description of ability, qualification or appeal.
The concept and the status of the musician in
society varies widely, depending on cultural factors.
