No arguments there - the best programmers I ever had the privilege to work with were either engineers or physicists - mostly physicists :-)
In other words; a Computer Scientist is like a Musicologist - they perform theoretical study of the field and are equally likely to be proficient performing musicians or programmers
However it may be instructive to compare professional musicians and professional programmers (btw many programmers play)
I think you're more right then most people (non programmers at least) realize: Muslicology is a science (well, for some defintion of science at least) while music is an art form. In the same way Computer Science is a science while programming is an art form.
