How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

I think being an electronic device programmer vs traditional instrument musician is an overlooked scenario with music production nowadays. The choice of PC/sample based (mixing in the box) type music production or learning how to skillfully manipulate an instrument (whilst reading musical notation, NIGHTMARE) e.g, Guitar, Saxophone, Piano etc. If all musicians knew music theory! notes, scales, clefs, staves etc... Like it was a compulsory lesson at school.

As a "need to go to social site" this online streaming tool that is connecting musicians from all over the globe and establishing them into the industry by using its online community that continually supports its members by reviewing their uploaded material and giving user's feedback for completed songs and/or works-in-progress. It's an excellent service and I, for one, love it. Thanks Drooble
