Abstract
The pandemic (COVID-19) has undoubtedly affected virtually every field of study in which the musical field is not left out of its “game of anguish and sober global intimidation”. But it is important to note that despite this devastating effect of the pandemic on general musicianship, musicians, music technologist and other practitioners in the music field have found ways to manoeuvre and navigate through its storm. This research therefore explores the affect and effect of the pandemic on the musical practises of few selected musicians, musicologists and music technologists in the south-west area of Nigeria, detailing through personal experiences of the researchers as musicologists, online documents, library sources, videos as well as the ethnographic approach where few music practitioners were purposively sampled and interviewed on how the pandemic has affected their various musical practises, be it music education, music performance, and music technology among many other sub-fields in the musical field of study. Findings show that most music practitioners resulted to using Computer-internet virtual space and other communication means to engage their musical practises, be it music education (teaching in primary, secondary and tertiary institutions), church music (practise sessions with choir), and music technology (Studio production and Musical instrument construction) among other musical fields as a means out of the pandemic’s “storm”. The research thus concludes on the notion that the availability of media, computer gadgets, internet technology among other tools have helped to ease the tension and overtly devastating atrocity the pandemic would have caused the “music world” if they were not in place and that music is a way out of the pandemic, through its ability to wade off bad emotions created by the pandemic.
