Have you learned to play a musical instrument from scratch during lockdown? We’re looking for people who didn’t regularly make music before the pandemic but have used lockdown to become proficient in one or more instruments.

Why did you decide to take up learning during the pandemic and why did you choose your particular instrument? How did you learn to play? Is playing an instrument all you hoped it would be? Have you taken any music exams?
