The concept of music and the meaning of a musician?

Music is an art that reflects human emotions in real life (English name: music; French name: musique; Italian: musica).

Music can be divided into two major types: vocal music and instrumental music, and can be roughly divided into classical music, folk music, original music, modern music (including pop music), etc. Among art types, music is abstract, and music can be divided into Eastern music and Western music from the historical development.

Musicians are a category, and practitioners who can basically independently produce music (such as songwriting, master recording, soundtrack, etc.) and many related productions are collectively called musicians.

Musicians must have profound music skills. The most basic ones are to understand music theory and be proficient in musical instruments. The most difficult ones to master are music production, recording and processing mastering effects. Generally speaking, musicians have professional recording engineers and composers, and of course songwriters and singers are also indispensable.
