Note: The “quotation from Aristotle” was most likely:
“The poets do not depict Zeus as playing the lyre and singing in person,” pointed out Aristotle[1] (1339b). “In fact we call the performers ‘technicians’ and think that a man should not perform except for his own amusement or when he has had a good deal to drink.” Thus, like his contemporaries, Aristotle dismissed musicianship as being a mere craft (“techne”), and as such, unbecoming to men of leisure.
