Description
This study explored the impact COVID-19 has on the chorus members living with the disease and their social well-being during rehearsals. Two participants living with dementia were interviewed in the study. A short survey was provided to the participants at the beginning of the choir season. They answered questions on a five-point scale ranging from 0 to 4, in addition to several open-ended questions. Survey questions focused on how COVID-19 has affected the choir experience for the person living with the disease. Quantitative and qualitative data are being analyzed. The results demonstrated a decrease in social inclusion due to COVID-19 during a virtual choir season.
