to-be-musician is a project made in 48 hours for Django Dash. It's purpose is to automate some common tasks for music students, like keeping musics, search for audio, lyrics, tabs, etc.

It's alive! Check it out.

How it works

When you are studying a song, you have a workflow to follow. It begins with you looking for the song in some resource (MP3, Grooveshark, Rdio), looking for some score or tablature, and listening to the music over and over again, until you have mastered the song.

With this web application we want to automate all this process, and let you discover and study songs with more agility and facility. At the end, when you are rocking the song, you could share this and let others know how you turned yourself into a hero.
