I might start promoting myself as "Performer/Composer", hoping to emulate the fantastic success of the "Singer/Songwriter" label.

A common misconception that is still prevalent in music education. It is something that I feel should be flagged as a problem in academia. This segregation of composer and performer and how deeply frustrating it can be to hear a 'traditional' musician speak of the performer as merely a medium for a composer (a seperate, unrelated entity to their mind) to have their work realised. It's bullshit. Something or someone miscontrued this somewhere along the way, and the ignornant followed suit.
