Dear Students, Parents,

First of all, on behalf of our teachers and myself I'd like to thank those of you who have stayed with us during this trying time, and have continued your music studies. Words cannot express our gratitude!! Because of your support ,we've been able to survive in this pandemic climate and it looks like we're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

As per Gov. Murphys reopening policy, we are following the scheduled openings of hair salons and barber shops because of the fact that these closely mimic our teaching model, which as you know, is one on one. So we're planning on opening starting Tuesday, June 23rd, with some conditions;

1) to start, for myself,I am scheduling students for Wednesdays and Thursdays,and possibly Saturdays only, pretty much the whole day, starting at 10 or 10:30 am. There will be 10-15 minutes between lessons in order to allow people to come and go with minimum contact with others! If you study with someone else, we'd like to do different days to avoid too many people in the studio at the same time.

2), You and/or your child will be required to wear a mask, NO EXCEPTIONS!! Students must also wash their hands before taking their lessons.

3)We will of course also wear masks, we will be wiping down instruments after each lesson, as well as door handles, etc. daily. The studio was completely professionally cleaned when we closed the studio and has not been used since except for myself stopping by once weekly.

4) Due to the fact that some students have health issues and some parents are not yet comfortable with returning to the studio, we will continue to offer virtual lessons on Zoom for those who choose to do so.

5) we usually have a concert this time of year, but for obvious reasons we've postponed this until further notice.

6) for those of you who've discontinued lessons during this pandemic, we'd love to have you back. Please contact us regarding your plans. We are much more flexible at this point! If we don't hear from you we will assume you no longer wish to have lessons and you will be terminated from our student roster.

7) We will close the studio immediately if a student or staff member is affected by the virus. Please feel free to contact me or any of our teachers with any questions or concerns. We want to have a safe and healthy reopening and be able to fill the studio with music once again!

Thank you again for your support,
