Research
Following the Science is a systematic review of the literature relating to singing and brass, woodwind and bagpipe playing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The current COVID-19 situation has resulted in widespread concern and uncertainty relating to musical performance and the potential risks associated with singing and brass, woodwind and bagpipe playing. Though there is some advice and guidance, it is important that future guidance should be evidence-based, and the sources identified.
