List of new age and new instrumental musicians

This is a list of New Age music and/or new instrumental music artists with articles on Wikipedia:

New age music is broadly defined as relaxing, even "meditative", music that is primarily instrumental. Unlike relaxing forms of classical music it makes greater use of electronica and non-Western instrumentation. It should be noted that there is some debate on what can be considered "New Age music", for example several musicians in Celtic music or Smooth jazz have expressed annoyance at being labeled "New Age musicians." For more on that debate see the article on New Age music. In addition several musicians object to the label because they fear it implies a connection to the New Age movement.
