Abstract
The Quarantine Ukulele Live Streams were a series of 93 YouTube live streams dedicated to ukulele instruction taking place during the COVID-19 pandemic. This case study is a discussion of the live streams, the creativities involved in their creation, and the creative space that emerged. Results are informed by a theoretical framework drawn from scholarship in community music, media studies, and creativity. As in-person musical interactions became impossible due to the global health crisis, a musical community formed through a series of networked broadcasts on YouTube. The live streams became a place to learn to play the ukulele and were made possible by a host who exhibited remarkable creativities throughout. Findings suggest that the live streams were musical communities developed using elements of pedagogical creativity, vernacular creativity, digital placemaking, and entrepreneurial creativity. Findings are discussed in the context of community engagement, YouTube as a platform, and creative space and place.
