Specialty Definition: Musician

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A musician is a person who plays or composes music. Musicians can be classified by how they make music:

The concept of the musician and the status of the musician in society is culture-specific. Think, for instance, about your own concepts relating to "the heavy metalistist", "the folk musician", "the DJ", "the sarangi player", "the female drummer", and so on.

It may also be useful to make a reference to the songs produced by some animals, including birds. Although many would surely debate that birds are musicians, their ability to produce variations on the characteristic song of their species is a subject for more research. The freestyle-chatter of even common birds, although lacking the complexity of methods employed by human-beings, must be looked at in terms of the origins of music. Human-beings did not begin producing music by banging away on a keyboard, nor are they the only creatures which respond to (or produce) rhythm and melody.

Usage note

It should be noted that although in many cases the name of the player is made from the name of the instrument + "ist", it does not work for all instruments. Trumpetist for example is nonsense. There are also widespread differences in the acceptability of some of these terms: for example percussionist is in general and uncontested use whereas violist is not.

Health

This condition is known as noise-induced hearing loss. Many construction workers, farmers, musicians, airport workers, tree cutters, and people in the armed forces have hearing problems because of too much exposure to loud noise. (references)

More than 20 million Americans are exposed on a regular basis to hazardous noise levels that could result in hearing loss. Occupational noise exposure, the most common cause of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), threatens the hearing of firefighters, police officers, military personnel, construction and factory workers, musicians, farmers, and truck drivers, to name a few. Live or recorded high-volume music, recreational vehicles, airplanes, lawn-care equipment, woodworking tools, some household appliances, and chain saws are examples of nonoccupational sources of potentially hazardous noise.
