The global COVID-19 pandemic disrupted learning environments, adding significantly to an already-challenging time for adolescents. In many cases, students and teachers have abruptly shifted to online learning platforms that may occur entirely in a home environment. Music often plays a significant role in adolescents’ processes of identity-building and social connection. Music classes might play an important role in coping during these times, even when learning is virtual. Music teachers may question students’ well-being and their own mentorship roles. This article includes concerns about teaching music with adolescents, specifically when adapted to virtual technologies. Considerations are detailed for pedagogical care and possible benefits of at-home learning that might enhance students’ music learning experiences.
