Precautionary measures for COVID-19

Dear students and parents, it has been a pleasure to be working with all of you so far. In view of the worsening COVID-19 situation worldwide, the following measures will be implemented to keep our lessons safe and give all of us a peace of mind: 

  1. All students (and parents who sit in during lessons) are required to fill in an e-declaration form before lessons on whether they have travelled outside of Singapore or had contact with a confirmed case within the last 14 days. This is to keep attendance records for contact tracing. 
  2. There will be temperature taking for students before the lesson (and parents who sit in during lessons). You will not be allowed to enter if you have a fever or exhibit symptoms of COVID-19, so please stay at home if you are feeling unwell! 
  3. Students to wash hands with soap provided before and after lessons.
  4. Social distancing – I will be sitting at least 1m away from the student (this is not any different from how I conduct lessons normally).
  5. The studio and piano will be disinfected and cleaned regularly to maintain appropriate hygiene standards. 
  6. Students will be allowed to reschedule lessons during this period if they are feeling unwell. 
  7. Online lessons can be held in place of in-person lessons during this period but this should only be temporary as online lessons cannot replace having lessons in person. Not everything can be taught online e.g. postural adjustments. 

Meanwhile, do ensure that you remain socially responsible outside of lessons. The Ministry of Health (MOH) Singapore has advised the public to practise the following in its health advisory:

  • Avoid close contact with people who are unwell or showing symptoms of illness;
  • Observe good personal hygiene;
  • Practise frequent hand washing with soap (e.g. before handling food or eating, after going to toilet, or when hands are dirtied by respiratory secretions after coughing or sneezing);
  • Wear a mask if you have respiratory symptoms such as a cough or runny nose;
  • Cover your mouth with a tissue paper when coughing or sneezing, and dispose the soiled tissue paper in the rubbish bin immediately; and
  • Seek medical attention promptly if you are feeling unwell.

MOH has also advised all Singaporeans to defer all travel abroad with immediate effect. 

For more details, do refer to the MOH website https://www.moh.gov.sg/covid-19

Also, try to avoid crowded areas, large social gatherings etc. and adopt social distancing when you go out. It is best to stay at home and spend time with your family AND INSTRUMENT as much as possible. If anything, this is a good time to catch up on practising your instrument so no excuses to not practise! Stay safe and happy practising! 😉

Do get in touch with me if you have any questions.
