This research was done in order to have a diagnosis that describes the perceptions of students and teachers of the Faculty of Music of the Autonomous University of Nuevo León (UANL) on training for the use of digital resources during confinement caused by COVID-19. For this qualitative research work, the action research design was used. The results showed that the majority of those surveyed have a secure internet network; that many students did not have institutional mail enabled, necessary for the use of the Microsoft Teams platform, but they managed to solve it quickly. In addition, there was a lack of training in the use of digital platforms. Regarding the experiences acquired, strategies were implemented that tested the degree of innovation and creativity of teachers to address thematic content during education in times of COVID-19. Finally, through discourse analysis, it was observed that distance education has shown socioeconomic differences and that there is still a need to obtain adequate training in the use of digital technologies that are adjusted to music education.
