The music has not stopped at our studio during this time!!!
Students continue to come to lessons and enjoy progressing in their piano study!!!
The studio has taken on all the very responsible and strict practices in hygiene and in social distancing!!!
Yes, it is possible to continue to learn piano at the studio, not online as other teachers have chosen to do!!
Quite honestly, I don’t think online ‘lessons’ would be of much value!!
The rules are quite simple , but strict.
Each student arrives and goes immediately to wash their hands . ( 20 seconds) . There is hand paper to dry their hands on. which is thrown away into a specially prepared plastic bag ( which is thrown away immediately after the lessons).
Then the student comes into the music room.
The teacher wears a mask and disposable gloves, which are tight enough to allow the occasional time when it is necessary to show a student how to play a certain piece of music. That is, to correct any mistakes or to demonstrate how to play something that the student may be having difficulties with.
The teacher sits behind, but at an angle to the student( at the correct distance allowed).
The lesson progresses normally and students have been continuing to make progress without interruption to their study.
In the music room, there is a large dispenser of hand sanitiser available for each student to use at any time and always after the lesson finishes.
Only the student and teacher are in the room at any time.
After lessons, the piano keys are wiped down and cleaned with antibacterial wipes and so is the piano stool and and door k***s and surfaces.
At the end of each teaching day, the general area both in the music room as well as outside it, including the front door, floor, etc is sprayed thoroughly with sprays such as Glen 20.
All students are asked not to attend lessons if they have the smallest symptom of a cold or flu like symptom, even a slight sniffle or ofcourse a cough or sore throat.
And so we continue to enjoy our music and progress in our studies !!
I welcome all students to come to Natasha’s Piano Studio!!
I can promise you, that we have developed a safe, hygienic and responsible environment.
I am happy to say, new students have been starting.
