A programming manager once told me that musicians did well as
programmers, he attributed to the ability to deal with abtract concepts.
Jazz musicians, for example, play with and change the relationships
between notes and chords. I've also heard it said that music is the
sound that math makes.

Subject: musicians among us
I currently play oboe and English horn in a community orchestra. In the
past I've played piano, guitar, clarinet, and violin to varying degrees
of proficiency. I have also been known to sing and compose. My degree is
in music I consider it my avocation.
I had one boss that looked for music majors for her help-desk positions
because her experience showed her that music majors were good with
computers.
