How How Might Might INSTRU INSTRUMENTAL MENTAL Loo Look? k? Applies to all instrumental departments Until further notice, wind and brass instruments will remain at home. Time will be used for online instruction and ● academic homework completion, leaving time for practice at home. Instruction for all Instrumental Departments will continue to have a significant reliance on virtual platforms and ● resources to minimize physical exposure and maximize opportunities for proper physical distancing. Focused on instruction, not performances. We will disallow any activities that involve physical proximity of any kind. ● Use of Practice Rooms will be disallowed due to a lack of constant adult supervision and inability to ensure proper ● and frequent sanitizing of all surfaces. We will prohibit sharing of equipment like metronomes, sheet music, accessories, pencils, or any other class ● supplies of any kind (music theory classes included). Students will be dispersed throughout the building whenever necessary to maintain proper physical distancing and ● asked to join classes/activities with their electronic devices. We will include the use of outdoor spaces whenever possible. Teachers and students will sanitize chairs, stands, keyboards, and any other frequently used surfaces and ● equipment before and after every use, utilizing gloves and district approved cleaners. Instrument storage plans will be made after the number of on-campus students is known. ●
