ABSTRACT: Music is a divine power that we humans are blessed. Blessed if we can sing, blessed if we can hear, blessed even if we can enjoy. Music as a form of therapy is also a blessing. Such therapies are free of cost without any side effects and can be taken in multiple doses throughout the day. Music (or more precisely Raag) basically should be of a kind that one can enjoy and can relate naturally. In this novel coronavirus break down it’s important for us to understand how we should control ourselves and develop a sense of resilience and wellbeing while staying back at home. Psychologically, creatively we can fight this Covid 19 stress musically (Misra & Shastri, 2014).
