Addenda to Terms and Conditions

CoVid-19

1. All piano lessons are currently on-line: please see blog posts on this site for more information on how we are set up for on-line learning.

2. As and when restrictions are lifted, we will work together to establish the best way of moving forward.  To help with our decision making, please let the teacher know if you are in a vulnerable category, or shielding for other reasons. This information will be kept in the strictest confidence.

3. The studio is well prepared for a return to in-person teaching, including the following measures:
  • serco app check-in;
  • perspex screens;
  • face covering / visor for your teacher;
  • breaks built in between lessons for sanitising;
  • ventilation, dehumidifier/ioniser;
  • two keyboards, linked with Internet Midi and web cameras, for close-up demonstration and duetting

Illness and infection

 Sharing a piano keyboard is an excellent means of passing round germs, even in normal times.  In general, thorough hand washing before and after each lesson is enough protection for us all.  But in the case of some infectious illness, such as those for which the schools issue exclusion guidelines, I would ask that you please keep your child away from piano lessons for the same time period.  These include gastric ailments, certain skin and eye infections, and chickenpox. 

​There are some helpful guidelines here:  http://www.patient.co.uk/health/School-Exclusion-Times.htm.  

If you or those in your household are unwell in any way (including coughing and sneezing), please do not attend your lesson. By preventing the spread of common colds and bugs, you can help all of us keep as healthy as possible for as long as possible.

Please follow all the hand-washing guidance.

I pledge to fully play my part in this too, and to notify you immediately if I feel unwell, in which case lessons will be paused and refunded/carried over.  In all cases you also have the option of taking your lesson at the normal time via Zoom or Skype if you prefer.
