pl: musicians
The term carries a broad professional and artistic connotation, encompassing everyone from a street performer to a concert pianist. It implies a level of technical proficiency or a dedicated pursuit of music as a primary identity or vocation. While a singer is often categorized as a musician, the word frequently evokes the image of someone interacting with a physical instrument. In professional settings, it distinguishes those who perform or compose from the listeners or casual hobbyists.
