This chapter focuses on the adaptations undergone by the Montreal New Horizons Band (MNHB), a community wind ensemble, to continue to provide musical activities for its members during the pandemic. Participants’ quality of life profile (QoLP:SV), and their attitudes to technology (ATT) were collected prior to and after completion of a semester of online music rehearsals. Additionally, researchers explored participants’ musical backgrounds, thoughts on everyday technology use, and their perceptions of online versus in-person band rehearsals. This chapter explores: (1) what were the perceived challenges or benefits of shifting to an online environment; (2) what were the factors that were perceived to support or constrain online music learning and participation; and (3) how did participation in online group music-making affect participants’ attitudes towards technologies and technology use. We conclude with some reflections regarding MNHB’s transition from in-person to online musical activities and considerations for the future.

摘要

This chapter focuses on the adaptations undergone by the Montreal New Horizons Band (MNHB), a community wind ensemble, to continue to provide musical activities for its members during the pandemic. Participants’ quality of life profile (QoLP:SV), and their attitudes to technology (ATT) were collected prior to and after completion of a semester of online music rehearsals. Additionally, researchers explored participants’ musical backgrounds, thoughts on everyday technology use, and their perceptions of online versus in-person band rehearsals. This chapter explores: (1) what were the perceived challenges or benefits of shifting to an online environment; (2) what were the factors that were perceived to support or constrain online music learning and participation; and (3) how did participation in online group music-making affect participants’ attitudes towards technologies and technology use. We conclude with some reflections regarding MNHB’s transition from in-person to online musical activities and considerations for the future.
