The time of the pandemic has redefined most areas of social life. including the world of music in the broad sense. Paradoxically. the virus itself turned out to be a kind of culture catalyst. The aim of this article is to present—at the exploratory level—the subject of people’s practice of music during the COVID-19 pandemic. The text will discuss selected aspects and processes related to the practice of musical. The main focus will be on showing how the musical life of society— confined to the Internet out of necessity—has evolved during the pandemic.
