Most young people in my part of the world have no interest in anything that requires the learning curve of an arranger keyboard. They tend to thrive on instant gratification objects, I pads, I phones, etc... Some schools no longer have music classes, mainly because of lack of interest. My grandson play a trombone, but really has no interest in music other than playing school concerts with the other kids in his class. Most of his time is spent staring at a touch screen or watching TV, though he plays baseball in the summer little league teams.
Most of the local bands I've seen consist mainly of guitar players and a drummer. Usually one of the guitar players sings as well as play rhythm guitar. It's really rare to see any brass, pianos or organs at all.
I hope when my grandson gets older he switches his priorities, but for some reason I doubt this will happen.
All the best,
Gary
