Do you believe that anyone who has ever sung, programmed, or otherwise elicited a note from an instrument is a musician? Or does it take more zan zat?
Maybe you're not a musician until you've made your first dollar by selling your recordings, or until you've played live in front of someone? Maybe you can have done both of zose and still not be considered a musician by some...
Do you need to have read up on theory? Do you need to have learned to read music? (I know zat'd eliminate me...)
Is rap music?[/strikethrough
I feel like what defines a musician is ze ability to imagine a phrase of music and zen play or sequence it, but I wrestle with my own definition since many more based in theory are utterly dependant on the page and the conductor, and they might have entirely different takes on it which disqualify me. so let's hear yours.
