During restrictions, lessons will be conducted online. We use various platforms including Zoom (our preferred software), Skype, WhatsApp video, and Facetime.
All remote lessons run 27-28 mins long to allow for teachers to set up lessons.
When lessons resume face to face, the health and safety of our students and teachers are of major importance to us. To that end, we have implemented various safety measures at the schools, and in each of our rooms. All rooms are fitted with acrylic plastic sheets, separating student and teacher throughout lesson. Rooms are fitted with true HEPA air filtration units.
Teachers are requested to clean all door handles and equipment before a lesson begins. Students are advised to bring their own instrument where possible.
There are antiseptic dispensers available throughout the school. We ask all our students to use these.
By changing start times of lessons from on the hour / half hour to quarter / quarter past, we have reduced the traffic into and around all rooms by half.
Covid 19 Safety Requirements
Keeping our Schools safe is of upmost importance to us at Everest School of Music. If a student feels
unwell, has a cough, fever, sore throat, breathlessness, we would ask them not to attend lessons but
instead, please stay home and follow the HSE’s advice guidelines. We ask any student who has been
in close contact with a person who has a confirmed or suspected case of COVD-19 to remain at
home. All lessons can take place remotely, so students do not need to miss out. Please contact us in
advance to arrange lesson remotely.
We ask all students and parents to keep their distance from other members of the public when
attending lessons.
In the event that music lessons cannot take place, face to face, as per Government advice, we will
continue lessons remotely via online video lessons.
Each face to face lesson is 30 minutes long. Within these 30 mins, teachers are required to sanitise
the room prior to the next lesson. This process takes between 2 to 3 mins and we ask our students
to please take this into consideration.
Everest School of Music reserves the right to refuse a student admission or tuition, who does not
follow our Covid-19 safety requirements. Refunds will not be made up in any such case.
