Are people still learning musical instruments now?

I'd love to learn an instrument but don't know if classes/one to one are happening right now because of Covid restrictions. Thanks

The people I know learn via zoom or other like platforms at the moment (flute, harp, guitar).

My music lessons were cancelled in March last year and haven’t resumed. You can have classes via Zoom but it isn’t the same.

Mine teaches people from all over the world, it's really taken off since 1 to 1 wasn't allowed.

Daughter’s school based lessons have just restarted and she’s been having online private lessons on another instrument since the first lockdown.

We find them better in lots of ways. Maybe it depends on the set up/instrument.

My DS (21) has guitar lessons , they've dne 30minute zoom lessons since lockdown.

Sometimes the Wi-Fi can be a bit of a 'mare but otherwise it works well enough . And 30 minutes of him concentrating is different to 60 minutes in a group ( usualy 4 students) where I know his little brain switches off for a wander

Group lessons starting again, he's looking forward to getting out with Real People .
