List of music professions

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Members of the musical professions engage in all kinds of activities that are necessary for the live performance, recording and reproduction of musical works.

This includes the producing activities (composing, arranging, orchestrating / instrumenting and producing), the reproducing activities (singing and playing instruments), the educational activities (teaching) and the musicological activities (music research).
