Once itunes shuts down will we still be able to access Apple Music through itunes or will Apple Music create it's own app/software for computers where people can download and listen to music?

Hi,

In the forthcoming OSX upgrade, 'Catalina', iTunes will be replaced by three applications - Music, TV and Apple Podcasts - which will carry out the same functions as the equivalent sections in iTunes: backup of iOS devices will be handled by the Finder. Existing iTunes libraries will be converted for use in these applications and all purchased items will remain available. No items or functions will be lost.

On older Mac operating systems and Windows , iTunes will remain unchanged and continue to work exactly as before.
