 On the series today, let's start with the fundamental question-What is MUSIC???

If someone bangs a cooking pan, it only makes noise. However if he bangs it in a rhythmic way, it's a simple type of music.(Can Easily BeEnjoyed)

*Therefore Music is an art of sound that expresses ideas & emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody,harmony&color.
* Also it's a musical work or compositions for singing or playing.

Personally, I hold the above Generic definitions  very true. However,this is my simple definition  in the Christian context( which is PARAMOUNT):

"Music is a Creative Pleasurable medium God uses to speak to his 'people' through his 'people'  in a unique,rhythmic way. 

To everything, there is a Spirit behind it& so is Music. Therefore, for any music to qualify  as Gospel or Christian;  it must  first have these 2 BASICS: 

-A MESSAGE FROM GOD &

-BACKED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

Now, essentially the message/Gospel/Good News God gives us is to Glorify him& this can be anything of worth or value to humanity.
(Thou it's mostly restricted in the Christian fraternity) e.g A song about Heart disease. 

However, betterstill one distinguishing factor is the SPIRIT OF GOD that backs it.
(More to come here)

It's from this that we later employ the humanly endowed giftings or creations like voice, instruments, sounds to give it the total music feel.

This should tell you that though the dynamics, instrumentation, rhythm are needed but the above is key. (Accapela is an example)

Lastly, This DIFFERENCE:  

A Musician is one who makes their own music-writes or composes their songs, knows how to play an instrument(s) as well as can sing or perform.

 

A singer is restricted as he uses mainly the voice (which is also instrument) to sing or perform the music with or without an instrumentation.
They may be in lacking some aspects like not always writing their songs&not playing an instrument. 

SO I SAY:
THIS IS THE MUSIC SERIES&THIS IS THE BASICS (PART 1)
