How to learn a new musical

instrument online during

lockdown

Dust off old skills or pick up something new with these tutorials
for piano, violin, bassoon, singing and even film-score writing

Louise Whitbread

While there are many skills people are turning to, from painting to
photography, learning a musical instrument may be something you’ve
wanted to do, but put off due to being busy pre-coronavirus.

Just because you can’t go to a teacher in person, doesn’t mean you can’t
still learn to read music, study music theory or learn to play a new

instrument.

There are many online resources, some free and some fee-paying, to help
with each step of mastering a new musical skill. Ahead are some of the

best.

You can trust our independent round-ups. We may earn commission
from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence

selections, which are formed from real-world testing and expert advice.

If you fancy plucking the strings of the guitar further than just playing

your own rendition of "Wonderwall" over and over, Fender is offering

three months of lessons on the guitar, bass and ukulele to the first
500,000 people who sign up via the Fender Play website.

This is opposed to the usual $9.99 (£8) monthly or $89.99 annual fee.
