Covid-19 and Face to Face Teaching 

It has been a really tough time for everyone recently and I feel now more than ever that music is so important for our health and well being. I have been working really hard to be able to get back to teaching in a safe way by reducing the risk of transmission as much as possible. 

​

Sessions are now being held at two locations: 

​

• Newtown Community Centre, Belmont Park, Exeter

• Yeoford Community Hall, Yeoford, Crediton

​

I have carried out risk assessments for both locations which can be viewed at the bottom of the page. All photos below are of Yeoford Community Hall. 

• Clear Plastic Screen between Student and Teacher

• 2m of space between Student and Teacher

• Payment can be taken by contactless or bank transfer only

• Separate entrance to the space only used by my students

• Hand sanatisers for use on arrival and after each session 

• Staggered arrival of students to avoid contact and allow for cleaning

• I am asking students to use their facilities at home before coming to sessions to avoid having to use the space's toilets

• Music stand for students use (this will be cleaned in between sessions)

• Digital music and resources can be viewed via screen mirroring on the Ipad (screen sanitised after each session)

• No contact between students and teacher

• Minimal sharing of instruments or equipment - this  is sometimes necessary when assisting with tuning but I will thoroughly sanitise your guitar after I have helped you to tune

Things you can do...

• Use your facilities at home before coming to the space to avoid using the toilets

• respect social distancing (2m) at all times whilst in the space

• Wear a face mask if you do need to go into the main building ​

• Do not attend sessions if you are feeling unwell or if you are contacted by Track and Trace
