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 you will be directed to our waiver of liability.
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.
- Students should arrive no more than 5 minutes prior to the start of the lesson. Students may need to wait outside the building until cleaning has been completed. Indoor studio capacity will be limited to 25% and all others must wait outside until the studio is clear.
- Teacher will take the student’s temperature prior to the student entering the building. Teachers will take their own temperature prior to starting the teaching day. As per CDC guidelines, anyone with a fever above 100 degrees Fahrenheit will not be permitted to enter the building.
- Lessons will take place in the lobby so that social distancing can be maintained. The lobby is otherwise closed at this time.
