where will it lead...... and till when

We musicians are being humiliated. Yes humiliated and we're doing nothing about it. Or we're trying but nothing is working out. Oh and please let me clarify what I meant with musicians according to dictionaries:

I'm not going to bore you with all the details..Only headlines!!!!

Music is a form of entertainment or other human activity that involves organized and audible sounds and silence. It is expressed in terms of pitch (which includes melody and harmony), rhythm (which includes tempo and meter), and the quality of sound (which includes timbre, articulation, dynamics, and texture).

A musician is a person who plays or composes music. Musicians can be classified by their role in creating or performing music:
  • A singer (or vocalist) uses his or her voice as an instrument.
  • An instrumentalist plays a musical instrument.
  • Both singer and instrumentalist can be improvisers, who create real time music.
  • Composers and songwriters write music.
  • A conductor coordinates a musical ensemble.


According to Alfred Alexander, "a singer is a person of adequate musicality, who is gifted with a voice of such power and beauty that competent judges can recommend singing as a career"
i.e. please don't compare "musicians/singers" you see on T.V to us, we read notes and know music theory, not to mention if we know how to sing, we sing in tune and know what were doing, at least we know what a demihemisemiquaver means,!! They're not even worthy of being called artists (fanan/fananeh) why do WE waste our time in studying music theory, harmony, counterpoint, analysis, and conducting, this is only a short list of what we go through in our music knowledge process and many of us might not even succeed in them what makes those people better than us?? I guess we know: they can sing out of tune easily, they have money, and female singers can dance and sing out of tune at the same time!!! Great that's excellent now i understand and actually now I can see the future or music!! I wonder how Beethoven and Mozart didn't see it!! what a waste of time and talent if i may say!!!!
