Regarding the risk of COVID-19

- By agreeing to this form, parents who choose to enroll their children in one-on-one lessons will assume all responsibility for the accidental transmission that could potentially occur from Connect Music School Teachers

- To avoid this, Connect Music School instructors will implement safety precautions for themselves and students:

• Students or family members showing any sign of sickness or that have come into contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 should cancel lessons immediately

  • We will offer a flexible lesson cancellation policy. Students who cancel the day of, due to symptoms of sickness will be given one opportunity to take their lesson online at a time that works for both the teacher and student. 

• Teachers and Students should wash/sanitize hands before and after the lessons occur

• Students and Teachers must wear masks during lessons. Should a student and their family not abide by this recommendation (made by us and the Alberta health services), teachers reserve the right to cancel lessons or recommend online lessons.

• Other family members should remain in an entirely separate space/room while the teacher is in the home to limit contact.

• Students must wash hands prior to lessons and wipe down the keyboard with disinfectant 

• Teachers and Students should maintain a distance of at least 2m, and ventilate the room if applicable

• Gloves are strongly recommended, particularly for piano teachers who may need to demonstrate on the student’s piano.

whether a make-up lesson can be provided.
