It seems that many people in the UK have decided to learn a new hobby while on lockdown, as sales of musical instruments and equipment in the country have increased by 80 percent between April and June.
According to Gear4Music’s chief exec Andrew Wass, electric and acoustic guitar starter packs were a go-to for many people looking to pick up a new instrument. And electric pianos and keyboards were also right up there in terms of instruments people chose…
Speaking to BBC, Wass pointed out that people over lockdown seemed keen to have a hobby “they can get into”.
“Maybe they played music at school and have found themselves indoors and decided to come back to it,” he said.
Knowing that music has great benefits to one’s mental health, I can see why people started to learn or get back to music in these challenging times.
