(3a) Playing occurrence indicates whether respondents played music with others (Yes) or not (No) before and during lockdown. Playing frequency indicates how often respondents played. (3b and 3c) Summarized results of Wilcoxon rank sum and Kruskal-Wallis tests on variables with possible influence on musical behavior are provided, as well as results of Spearman corrleation tests on self-assessed technical and social competence (*significant effect). Playing occurrence before lockdown was 100%, so no comparison could be made here between those who did and did not play with others.
