When I call members of our ukulele club, it's clear that a number have "given up". They no longer play their uke and practice playing/singing songs. They seem to have retracted into their shell since being in lockdown (self-imposed or mandatory).
Meanwhile, our creative Music Director has routinely published audio & audio/video recordings that allow folks to play/sing along with the root file. They email their audio/video files which get merged/sync'd with the root file to create a composite audio or audio/video file. The videos get uploaded to a private area on You Tube for the pleasure of all members.
On the flip side, yesterday I called the owner of my favorite music store in Lafayette, CA and was pleasantly surprised to hear that they have seen an increase in customers buying an instrument to play at home during the lockdown.
