PROTOCOLS FOR IN-PERSON LESSONS
The health and safety of our CMC community is of utmost importance to us. Here's what to expect for in-person lessons:
- anyone entering our CMC building must provide proof of vaccination
- masks are required to be worn at all times by our students, teachers, administrators and parents if entering the building
- self-assessment symptom screening is required prior to entering the building (simply read the questions listed on the sign in the mudroom and let our admin know if you answered yes to any of the questions). Symptoms include fever, cough, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, sore throat or trouble swallowing, decrease or loss of taste or smell, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, extreme tiredness or sore muscles, pink eye or headache
- hand sanitizing is required prior to entering the building and prior to your lesson
- distancing is required as much as possible
- plexiglass barriers are on our studio desks for theory lessons
- air purifiers with a HEPA filter are in each of our studios and office
- piano keys will be sanitized in between each student
- our Snack Shack and kitchen are closed to students
- parents are asked to drop off and pick up their kids instead of waiting at CMC
- 1st floor washroom only is available to students, but we encourage you to use the facilities at your home before coming to your lesson
NOTE: We reserve the right to refuse entry to CMC without exception if a student arrives exhibiting any symptoms above, and the lesson will be forfeited.
