Fall 2021 COVID Policies

Hello Monteverdi Music School Community! 

​Welcome back to another fantastic year at MMS. This year the back to school shopping list for wind players is going to look a little different! We are recommending that teachers, renters, and families in the building use bell covers and instrument bags, especially around unvaccinated people. 

Other than that, the COVID guidelines for MMS look very similar to last year: 

• If unvaccinated people are present, all parties must wear a mask 
• All students and teachers will wash hands before entering a classroom 
• All students and teachers please use hand sanitizer frequently, especially if sharing instruments
• Wipe down piano keys and other shared instruments after each use 
• Eat outside the building whenever possible
• Keep windows open for ventilation, close when done with the room for the day 
• If possible operate a fan in the room that moves air around 
• Contact me (Erin Eberhardt, eeberhardt@berklee.edu) for questions about bell covers

For more information about bell covers and instrument bags, please visit http://www.unitedsound.org/mask. You can order masks from that website, or there are patterns to make your own! For woodwind players, there is information about aerosol containing bags. 

We are so excited to have music back in the halls of the Center for Arts and Learning. Thank you for working together to make this year possible!
