Please note, all students and teachers wishing to resume in person instruction must sign the Mosaic Music Lessons LLC Liability Waiver. After you have finished reviewing our policies below, please complete your enrollment form, and we will send you a copy of the waiver.
In an effort to meet the needs of clients who feel they would be best served via in-person instruction, Mosaic Music Lessons has developed the following health and safety protocols. We continue to encourage virtual lessons whenever possible, but when possible, are offering in-person lessons on a limited basis by student request. As new guidelines emerge, these protocols may change. We will notify you in the event of such changes. In-person lessons are not currently available for voice, wind, or brass students, as mask wearing is not feasible for these lessons.
SCHEDULING/LESSON FORMAT PROCEDURES
"You Come to Us" Lessons:
- Students’ lesson times will be staggered 15 minutes apart to limit contact between students/parents and to allow for cleaning of the studio.
