Lessons at The Gap affected by Quarantine

Lessons at The Gap this week  are now affected by quarantine! As the household from whom I rent The Gap teaching space has been ordered into quarantine, lessons at The Gap cannot take place in person, this week, on the 9th and 12th of August. I will be standing by on Zoom for an online lesson instead, or please contact me to reschedule to another day this week at the Samford Studio. If neither of those options works for you, please be in touch to make alternative arrangements! Lessons at Samford are unaffected. Apologies for the inconvenience, but important that we all stay safe and well.

Arrangements for COVID lockdown

As most people would be aware, the Queensland Government has instituted a COVID lockdown from Saturday July 31 at 4pm for 8 days. All lessons will be held by Zoom link up to and including Friday 6th August. All students have been emailed the Zoom link – please be in touch if you haven’t received it!

If the lockdown has to be extended, lessons will continue by Zoom until the lock down is lifted, and we can resume our in person meetings. If it’s not possible for you to have lessons by Zoom, pease get in touch to make other arrangements!

Thank you for your understanding!

Regards,
Rob

Lessons reccomence in person

Now that the COVID situation is easing in Queensland, lessons have recommenced in person at both The Gap and Samford Studios. I am very happy to be seeing everyone in person again. We will be meeting COVID management obligations in both studios, which means that

  • We will be sitting 1.5m apart
  • 4 square metres of space per person (This will mean that the Samford Studio will accomodate only one student at a time)
  • Hand sanitiser will be available for use before and after lessons
  • I will be regularly disinfecting surfaces
  • I will not be handling students books or instruments unless absolutely necessary.
  • I will no longer be providing picks for student use. You will need to bring your own plectrum.

This will mean some slight changes to the way we do the lesson, including switching to electronic notes where practical.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Regards,

Rob Reeves
