You need to be proficient in C only if you want to monkey with the innards
of Csound, which is written in C, or if you want to use C to automatically
generate scores for Csound (instead of just using MIDI sequences or
something).

If you want to make music with Csound you can either use one of the
thousands of freely available instrument definitions on the Web; otherwise,
you need to become proficient in the Csound orchestra language, which is not
at all difficult as a language but is difficult in the sense that you won't
make any interesting sounds unless you either understand signal processing
or have the patience of Job.
