With the arrival of COVID-19 on the world scene, the policy for the studio is to maintain an environment which is healthy for all.

1.  If your child and family have travelled to the affected COVID-19 areas, please follow current government advice.
   
   
2. Hand washing
   In the interest of everyone’s wellbeing, I am requesting for all attendees of music lessons to wash hands thoroughly (singing Happy Birthday x2 with soap and water) before lesson takes place.
   
   
3. Studio pupils (including parent and any waiting sibling) should wash hands at home just before leaving whenever possible. If coming straight from another activity please do arrive a few minutes early to allow for hand washing at my house.

   Hand sanitising gel is available but hand washing is by far the best method.

4. During lesson
   I will continue to have tissues available during lesson to catch any sneezes, coughs and to maintain good hygiene. These will be placed into a plastic bag and thrown away.
   
   
5. Teaching environment
   I will wipe down piano keys using water and an antibacterial microfibre cloth between each lesson.

   At the beginning and the end of each teaching day the keys, piano bench and door handles will be disinfected.

6. Future Travel Plans
   If you and/or your family have plans to travel abroad in the near future, please refer to the most current foreign travel advice here regarding health risks and any required procedures upon return.

How you can help
If your child has been off school due to illness please contact me to arrange an online lesson. They should not attend their piano lesson as usual.

If they have a runny nose whenever possible please do equip them with their own tissues and hand gel.
