Music is one of the most logical things out there. It either sounds good (to you), or it doesn't. If it doesn't sound good to you, you change it until it does.

In your research, you might want to look into people who only play physical instruments, versus people who record and use DAWs to compose and put songs together on their computers. The latter is even closer to programming than just thinking about music theory, and a lot of people might be interested in learning how to do it.
- MusicToTheEars 9y agoThanks for your advice! Yes, instrument-players and DAW users probably have different work styles, though many respondents still had a similar motivation for music – improvising and coming up with melodies – based on the results so far. A lot of people chose "develop their creative side", so perhaps composing/creating music is a common trait among programmers (as opposed to just performing).
