I was hoping that you might like to take a survey for musicians which looks at creativity, well-being and adaptation of musicians during the covid-era. We tried to make the survey interesting and insightful and give a chance for musicians to reflect on their art during the recent period.<SPAN>&nbsp; </SPAN>We hope that you might like to take the survey and pass it along to others if you find it valuable. It would be greatly appreciated !<SPAN>&nbsp; </SPAN>Thank you.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Cameron Weber, PhD</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Here is the link to the survey: <A href="https://surveymonkey.com/r/LWNCZXB" target="_blank">https://surveymonkey.com/r/LWNCZXB</A></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Survey Intro.png" style="width: 936px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/139609i7F03D90DD0C5E9F3/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Survey Intro.png" alt="Survey Intro.png" /></span></P> Tue, 05 Apr 2022 19:15:54 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/10-Year-Evolution-Spotify-Community/bc-p/5362948#M1290 cameronmweber 2022-04-05T19:15:54Z
