Guidelines to stay safe when enjoying violin lessons
As of Monday April 12thone-to-one lessons at my studio in York, and home visits will be available. For all lessons, to reduce risk, the following rules will be observed:
* Face covering to be worn by the teacher, but optional for the pupil. * Hands to be washed for a minimum of 30 seconds before and after the lesson. * Two stands to be used instead of one shared stand. * Keeping the recommended 2 meter distance between teacher and pupil at all times
For Studio lessons: * A clear passage will be in place from the front door to the teaching space. * The table students get their violins/violas out on and the toilet facilities will be cleaned before and after each lesson. * All doors and windows will be open to maximise ventilation.
For Home Visits: * Hand sanitiser to be used by the teacher before the lesson (teachers own sanitiser) * All doors and windows to be opened in lesson area to maximise ventilation. * Outdoor lessons in your garden or yard is an alternative option (weather permitting).
With these measures in place, lessons can take place in a safe and reassuring environment. For any further question, please email me at yorkviolintutor@gmail.com
An alternative to one-to-one lesson is online lessons. Online lessons are increasingly popular for learning the violin.
Some advantages are...
More convenient- No travel time and more flexibility when scheduling lesson times. Cheaper- No travel time means no fuel costs. Technology driven- Online lessons take full advantage of multi media and online tools to boost the lesson experience.
