THE ECHO LAB RE-OPENING GUIDELINES
*UPDATED AS OF 10TH AUGUST*
We are now open and taking bookings for the studio
We will be open for :
- 1-1 Lessons
- Solo Rehearsals
- Band Rehearsals
We’ve listed below our new guidelines to keep yourselves and the studio safe during this time. These guidelines should be adhered too at all times. within the studio.
LESSONS
– All students will be required to bring their own instruments/drum sticks and sheet music to each lesson.
– All students must sanitise their hands on entry to the studio – a hands free sanitising station has been set up inside the entrance to the studio. Or feel free to bring your own.
– Students will be required to maintain social distancing (2 Meters) from tutors at all times – Drum students will now be using a larger room to allow for this, guitar lessons will remain in the same room as before.
– The area that was previously used as a waiting area with seats and table is no longer to be used as such. Parents/students will be required to wait outside the building or in their cars until their tutor comes out to allow them into the building. This is to reduce the number of people in the building at any one time.
– Parents will no longer be able to sit in on any lessons and will be required to wait outside the building for the student.
– 15 minute spacing between each and every lesson to allow rooms and equipment to be cleaned/wiped down in between lessons.
– We’ve added new music stands for students and these will be cleaned between each lesson.
