The period from March, 2020 - March, 2021 was dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic and its enormous effects across the globe and the many institutions and services that regulate our daily lives - school, work, distribution of goods, health care, fitness, sports, religious services, stores, births and burials, travel, gatherings, celebrations and many others. The focus of the current analysis involves two particular communities of practice affected by the pandemic -- musicians and multilinguals. Using a computer-based survey format, the research team constructs the foundation for understanding the impact of COVID-based restrictions on the ability to participate in typical contexts that are central to multilingualism and musicianship, analyzes empirical data and other evidence on how these communities are coping under these constraints, and provides insight into new, emerging questions for future examination of significant COVID effects on the developing dynamics in these communities. Data collection began September, 2020 and extended through the end of February, 2021. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
