COVID Safety Measures for In Person Lessons

Changes to In-Person Teaching, updated July 2021:

Those who have coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms, or who have someone in their household who does or who have been advised by NHS Test & Trace to self-isolate, should follow guidance to stay at home.
If lockdown measures come back into effect, all scheduled face-to-face lessons will be held via Zoom.

Whenever possible, bring your own instrument (you can plug in to an amp & cable here – these will be cleaned after each use).
If you don’t have your own instrument (for example if this is your first lesson), one spare instrument will be provided. This will need to be cleaned after use.
Bring any accessories you might need (No tuners or capos will be given to students.)
Bring a personal tablet / phone with enough charge. We will use this to show your music.
For children’s lessons, only the parent & child will be allowed to attend.
From 19th July, you are expected and encouraged to wear a face mask in indoor spaces, but it is not compulsory. Children under 11 don’t need to wear a mask.

Keep your distance (2m) to protect both me and yourself.
Parents are encouraged to wait outside in the garden seating area, weather permitting, or in their car.

Get vaccinated (if you are able to)
I understand that this is a personal view, but I do want to encourage it.
Take regular lateral flow tests, ideally before and after coming to a lesson in-person.

My partner now also works from home, so noise should be kept to a minimum to allow her to make calls without interruptions.
No siblings are to be brought along.
Singing or shouting carries a greater risk, so this should be avoided.

Use the hand sanitiser provided on arrival.
Avoid touching door handles, surfaces, or your face.
Contact surfaces will be cleaned regularly.
Windows or doors will be kept open to increase ventilation.
Door handles & touch points will be cleaned regularly.
Please be aware that I have two cats. If you have allergies, please consider online lessons instead.
