Making Music Together Again
COVID19 and in-person rehearsal information
WE ARE PLANNING TO MEET IN PERSON FOR THE 2021-2022 SEASON
Please note that all of the following information is vital to your understanding of our plans and the success and safety of our students, staff and families. We have our COVID-safety protocol in place and will be following the recommendations of the state Public Education Department and the governor.
Our top priorities are (1) the health and safety of our students, staff, volunteers, and families, and (2) the fulfillment of our mission to provide an intensive and fulfilling music education for our students. We have carefully considered information made available to us from a variety of resources, chiefly education, government, and health authorities, as well as music educators across the nation who, like us, are navigating uncharted waters during a world-wide pandemic. While much remains unknown about COVID-19, and particularly about music making during this pandemic, the available information makes clear that a number of collective steps are crucial to mitigate its risks, such as using face coverings and personal protective equipment (PPE) properly, special covers and distancing for wind-instruments, practicing social distancing, and enhancing existing cleaning and disinfecting practices. We will continue to follow scientific and health guidance as it evolves.
We will need to be flexible in responding to evolving information and adapt our plans based on lessons learned as we go. And of course, we must at all times remain mindful of and in compliance with existing restrictions and guidelines put out by our local governmental and health officials.
