The effects of COVID-19 to the development and continuity of Church choirs: a case study of Bethel Judah Choir at St. Francis Chapel Makerere University

Abstract

This study addressed the effects of covid-19 to the development and continuity of church choirs in Uganda. And for my research I used Bethel Judah church choir found at St Francis Chapel Makerere as my case Study to represent the other church choirs. The research aimed at finding out the challenges church choirs faced in the period of covid-19 as well as finding out how they coped with these challenges to ensure their continuity in this period. In addition, the study examined the measures that can be taken in the face of such a pandemic in the future. The researcher used a qualitative study as a research methodology for collecting information and used tools like interviews. Findings show that the covid-19 pandemic affected church choirs so much because the biggest challenge was them not being able to meet physically yet as a choir meetings are very important.
