Hi everyone,

 

I am reaching out to you to let you know that as a precautionary measure, I am preparing an online alternative to in-person lessons to help contain the spread of COVID-19.

 

The online alternative would require a computer or tablet with a microphone and video capabilities and the app Skype. Your lesson would be at the same time slot.

 

At the moment, please plan to come to lessons as normal, unless you or an accompanying family member is ill.  When you arrive, I ask that everyone entering the house please thoroughly wash hands right away. You can use the washroom that is right off the waiting area outside the studio.

 

Emily and I have done a deep clean of the side porch area and the downstairs, and will be disinfecting surfaces daily, especially the piano.

 

This issue is of concern to me because of the close proximity I share with students and parents during a lesson, and where possible, I want to protect you as well as other students and my own family from possible exposure.

 

This is obviously a fluid and unprecedented situation, and I will continue to monitor guidelines provided by our local government to make adjustments to our plan as necessary.

 

I appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this issue together.  

 

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

 

Best,

Paddy
