Well, damage through music in some cases its usually magic based (like Songweavers in Aion). In FFXIV Bards are the job class for archers, and they use music in form of a quick buff to the party with an increased stat, or gradually restoring MP/TP. And its not as though they play a song throughout the whole battle, that'd leave them defenseless in a sense.

Either way though, distance is their closest ally in PvP or PvE, but even in PvP people usually go straight for the healers in most cases.

I've decided on giving my Bard class a whip, that way they can stay somewhat distanced (also other main ranged weapons are taken). Plus Bard is gonna be a physical type summoner anyways, so the pet would try to take most of the aggro.
