Hello Mohammad Reza Azadehfar ,

I guess as to the result of having lonely lives nowadays at home, the human being will seek a way of flashback in the shape of entertainment to spend some time for soul and it can remind us we should use our time in a manner to leave something precious for descendants.

I think the man can think of and be a little flexible because the basis is ready to grab the attention, but the results and society may make the period short!

Prof Mohammad Reza Azadehfar mentioned music in particular. It is a shame at the moment not being able to see music live (although you can still play music yourself or listen to recordings while keeping safe, indoors).

I maybe haven't understood the question, but I think everyone follows their own musical tastes (and it is lovely when you find someone else at a live music venue to has the same taste that you do). I don't feel discriminatory if someone else likes something different to me, but wouldn't want to spend the whole evening listening to something that is not what I like.

But the polite care from perfect strangers as they do their very best to keep a 2 meter distance, and wait for sometimes quite a time before being able to access - for example - a shop, is lovely. I hope we all continue to carry on our lives with this 'caring for others' that we are seeing at the moment.

Musicians will shift and make use of virtual platforms to express their musical creativity.

IMO when in isolation there isn't much of choices to attend your favorite musical club, concert or any live bands by all means. So either they try to play/ listen to music by themselves or networking on a social media learn new notes, tricks and notes from one another, or others like my 15 year old niece she is self taught guitarist started learning from watching youtube, in less than a month she plays great and also writes her own music.

Also there are others including myself tend to reflect and reconnect with the inner self, into a meditating stage by listening more relax and mystic music, it can play a big positive role on mind, body and spirit. A healthy positive mind can make it through every situation.

The psychological effects of pandemics _ and even a few weeks of isolation can cause lasting anxiety. we are living through the first global pandemic in the digital age, where the internet has made it possible to withdraw physically from the outside world. The corona virus disease (COVID-19) has affected virtually every industry in one way or another and in that regard, the music in its industrial side is no different.

Classical music venues closed due to corona virus . Musicians whose livelihood depends on travel and public events, are feeling the effects of COVID-19. We are being asked to avoid even even small public gatherings, which means musicians, ethnomusicologiests, researchers can not even participate in conferences, other artistic venues and academic performances. We can only gather around in online video call, meetings or record our performances in front of the scene and share it via the internet.

But I believe people who adjust better to new situation and are optimistic emotionally stable and open to new experiences are more likely to fare well during and after the pandemic. Not every one possesses these characteristics, however people can improve their resilience by learning new coping strategies through practices.

For the generation shaped by corona virus life may never fully return to "normal", but a new "normal" will be established to which we will, hopefully, adapt.

Dear Fereshteh Amini,

"Classical music venues closed due to corona virus."

"For the generation shaped by corona virus life may never fully return to "normal", but a new "normal" will be established to which we will, hopefully, adapt."

I am of the opinion that COVID-19 caused not so much harm as a huge benefit for music, because real music is not passive listening, but active personal participation in playing music. Yes, of course you can listen to brilliant musicians in concerts, but emotionally only a personal performance of a musical composition can bring a deep understanding and give a lot of positive emotions. Tell me, for example, is it possible to compare just listening to the brilliant As-dur Chopin polonaise by the brilliant pianist Arthur Rubinstein https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noS1SXHrUOE with your personal performance, even if this musical performance looks clumsy and awkward. The live performance of this composition that can give a billion times more positive emotions than just passive listening. Because the lively sound that comes from the touch of your fingers with the keys is a huge music therapy for your brain. The same can be said of other ingenious compositions. Therefore, there is no need to lose heart and it is necessary to correctly place the emphasis. Music is not only your ears, but also your fingers and only their simultaneous participation can give rise to a huge number of positive emotions. It is for this reason that I prefer not to listen to other musicians. To better understand the composition, you need to know and understand the harmony of how the music is accompanied by chords. It is the understanding of this harmony that will give a lot of positive emotions.

During the current pandemic, we are all finding ways to respond to the new reality of our constrained lives. For those of us in the arts community, the loss of human communion through the arts hits hard.

Prof Mohammad Reza Azadehfar

In April you posed this question and there have been some interesting responses. I had a look at your ResearchGate page and was impressed by all the recent presentations you have made available on mp4 in the months since the start of the pandemic.

It would be lovely if venues where live music was played were able to re-open, but I cannot see that being possible for a long period of time.

Bita Faraji also mentioned about the fact that we cannot attend musical venues at the moment, and told how her niece was learning to play guitar. Excellent; you must feel very proud of her. It would be good to think that the lockdown had made people more open to making their own music. Providing you don't neglect your instrument too much, you have always got it there to play and to choose the right pieces for the mood that you are in.

Musical lifestyle is one of the hard-hit sectors in this era of Covid-19. Although visual performance by music artists have gained more traction and relevance recently in some developed and developing countries.

Visual media and TV stations are currently used for musical performance and entertainment

I agree Bita Najariyan

We are able to listen in TV to great concerts that would be performed for a selected public with expensive tickets. Music is also very useful in health-care and in isolation and may improve certain useful tasks.

Yes, I agree with Prof S. Béatrice Marianne Ewalds-Kvist. Whereas in a concert hall you may either not have a very good view of the band / orchestra or whatever you have gone to see, or you might think it is too loud, on the TV you have an excellent view and the volume control is in your hand. And you don't have to travel there and back to the venue.

. . . Although, there is nothing like live music when the time comes that we can attend our chosen concerts / festivals in safety and interact with like-minded people who enjoy what you do.

I agree with Harriman Saragih
