    Note the use of de with jouer:
    to play the piano
    = jouer du piano
    to play the clarinet
    = jouer de la clarinette
    but
    to learn the piano
    = apprendre le piano
    Players
    English -ist is often French -iste ; the gender reflects the sex of the player.
    a violinist
    = un or une violoniste
    a pianist

    A phrase with joueur/joueuse de X is usually safe.
    a piccolo player
    = un joueur or une joueuse de piccolo
    a horn player
    = un joueur or une joueuse de cor
    But note the French when these words are used with good and bad like this:

    = il joue bien du piano
    he’s not a good pianist
    = il ne joue pas bien du piano
    he’s a bad pianist
    = il joue mal du piano
    As in English, the name of the instrument is often used to refer to its player:

    = elle est premier violon

    = un morceau pour piano
    a piano arrangement

    the piano part

    Use with another noun
    De is usually correct:
    to take piano lessons
    = prendre des leçons de piano
    a violin maker
    = un fabricant de violons
    a violin solo
    = un solo de violon
