Musician (From Wikipedia)
A musician usually plays a musical instrument, especially (
although not necessarily) as a profession. Musicians can be classified by their roles in
performing music and
writing music. A person who makes music a profession, anyone (
professional or not) who's skilled in making music or performing music creatively, or one who composes, conducts, or
performs music (especially instrumental music) is a musician.
Musicians can be of any music style not limited to classical, orchestral or choral, and musicians can have skills in many different styles outside of their professional experience. Examples of musicians' skills are the orchestration of music, improvisation, conducting, singing, composing, arranging, and/or being an instrumentalist.

broad meaning...much like defining "music".
