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
