Summary/Abstract: The expression through singing or playing instruments generates variousemotions for both the performer and among the audience. The pandemic of 2020carries the communication, with which humanity has learned over the centuries, in anew network, the virtual one. This creates an e-motion (here with a double, oscillatingmeaning, between the movement - in the obsolete version - invested with the givenmeaning of using network technology to design, deliver, select, manage and extendlearning, respectively the emotion) that requires a pertinent analysis to propose futuredirections.This study starts from the experience of conducting seminars within the courseStudy of musical instruments in the primary and preschool cycle in two situations: faceto face and online. The sudden and radical change of the educational context broughtabout essential transformations regarding how the laboratory activity was conductedfor the study of eminently practical disciplines. This allows an instrumental case studybased on the comparative analysis between the results obtained by students throughface-to-face study and those obtained through an online study. The parallel betweenthe two circumstances in which the study activities of the instruments occur is madefrom the perspective of the acquired instrumental technique - conceived in the contextof this work as a form of movement, respectively, from the perspective of lived andtransmitted emotions.
