MUSIC !!
People keep asking Who is Musician? what can i gain from Music? Does Music really pays? .
What will be the answer to this questions. Before we gets some answers, lets dive a little in to the meaning of Music.
Music is an Art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound and silence. The common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony),
rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo,meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound). Different style or type of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements. Music is performed with a vast range of
instruments and with vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping, and there are solely instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces (such as songs without instrumental accompaniments) and pieces that combine singing and instruments. The word derives from
Greek μουσική (
mousike; "art of the
Muses").
In its most general form, the activities describing music as an art
form include the production of works of music (songs, tunes, symphonies, and so on), the criticism of music, the study of the history of music, and the
aesthetic examination of music. Ancient Greek and
Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres"
and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often
ordered and pleasant to listen to.The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context.
Music can be divided into
genres (e.g.,
pop music) and genres can be further divided into sub-genres (e.g.,
hip-hop and
afro-pop
are two of the many pop sub-genres), although the dividing lines and
relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to
personal interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within the arts, music may be classified as performing art, a fine art or as an auditory art. Music may be played or sung and heard live at a
rock concert or
orchestra performance, heard live as part of a dramatic work (a
music theater show or
opera), or it may be recorded and listened to on a radio,MP3 player, CD play, Smartphones or as film scores or TV shows.
1.Who is a Musician?
A musician (or instrumentalist) is a person
who plays a musical instrument or is musically talented. Anyone who
composes, conducts, or performs music may also be referred to as a musician. Musicians can specialize in any musical style, and some musicians play in a variety of different styles. A musician in Ghana is usually refers to some one who performs on stage with microphone, but remember the composer, the instrumentalist, the singer, the engineer in the studio and any person who contributed in making the song is also a musician and has right to the song. A musician will spend a significant amount of time learning and
practicing so as to become known within the music world, or to play in a
band with other talented musicians. They will also prepare for
auditions, attend rehearsals, and learn new pieces of music to extend
their repertoire. A musician will often teach music students in order to
support their career as a performer.
A musician’s passion is
to play music. Musicians may perform as solo artists, in bands,
ensembles, choirs, and orchestras either in front of live audiences or
in the recording studio. A musician’s skill can include performing, singing, composing,
conducting, and arranging among a wide range of genres such as
alternative, blues, rock, classical, jazz, R&B,Afro-pop, highlife, reggae ,hip-hop,
country, and many more. The job of a musician varies depending on the
genre, circumstance, and goals of the individual. Whether it is
producing albums, going on tours, or playing in local bars, the job can
change at anytime. Many musicians have a second part time job to help
support them in their career.......
