The research problem explored in this qualitative study was the lack of literature from the perspectives of K-12 music teachers on using virtual technology to instruct secondary concert bands. This study showed the challenges and successes experienced with the use of this technology and their impact on music teachers' overall view of using virtual means for secondary concert band instruction. The conceptual framework included Vygotsky's sociocultural theory of cognitive development, which is applicable to community-based learning (in this case, in the concert band ensemble), and Siemens's theory of connectivism, which is useful in addressing education using virtual technology. Audio-recorded, semistructured interviews were conducted with nine music teachers who taught secondary concert bands virtually. An inductive thematic analysis of the data was completed. The results of this study indicated that the participants held a negative view of virtual technology and its use for concert band instruction. This negative perspective was due to the inadequacies of the virtual technology and its inability to allow concert band students to play collectively in a virtual setting, inhibiting music teachers from teaching and assessing performance-based standards. Additionally, the results indicated that the successes and challenges experienced by the music teachers while teaching secondary concert bands using virtual technology did, to some degree, impact their overall view of using virtual technology for concert band instruction. The potential social implications of this study lie in improving the adequacy and accessibility of virtual technology used for music education and districts providing this technology to their music teachers and their students to improve student outcomes in music education in a virtual setting.
