Sounds like a bitter ex employee who is stretching the truth and telling a paranoid card counter what he wants to hear....
One of my favorite professors in law school told me that the best students he's had over the years were music majors. I don't know how many musicians end up in law school (I knew of a few), but he said he believed their ability to focus on studying and practicing for long periods of time was a major reason for their success.
Vaya con Dios...
Make sense me and my band mates spent 4 hours only solo practice (scales, harmony, theory and singing) and another 4 hours a day for rehearsal. Eight hours a day total everyday for 2 weeks before a tour. The working part of music takes a lot of discipline.

When I interviewed for my first student job as a software developer, the recruiter immediately noticed, from the personal interests section of my resume, that I am a musician. This was during the first minute of the interview. He stated that "musicians make excellent programmers" and all we talked about for the rest of the time was music. I was worried afterward that we hadn't talked about software at all. However, after leaving the interview room and before I could even get my coat on, he came out to tell me that I had the job.

Being a musician is just one of those "indicators" that leaps off the page as a manager or hiring executive. It shows commitment, patience, practice, work ethic, and a little creativity. Its not the only one out there that leaps off the page, but it is certainly one of the biggest ones available. I know a few HR guys that ONLY fill critical positions with guys who minored in some form of musicianship or had a profound musical extracurricular.
