We want to thank you and your family for choosing to be a part of Youngstars Music School. Please be assured that we will be operating within current government guidelines but all the while ensuring our lessons are fun and engaging for all. We will adapt as restrictions evolve, and the most important thing to us is to keep everyone safe in order to ensure our community’s health. If you have any concerns or questions about our Covid Safety Procedures or any of the changes made in the school, please don’t hesitate to contact us on youngstarsmusicschool@gmail.com.
Entry into the premises
Students must arrive to their lesson at their lesson time and are not permitted to wait in the building. Either wait outside or arrive at your lesson time and go straight in.
Parents are asked not to enter the building unless they have prearranged it with Anna. If you need to speak to a teacher or if you ave any queeries then please call/text/email Anna to arrange this. This will limit the amount of people entering the area and enable us to control the environment much easier.
Payment
Payment can be arranged via bank transfer or an envelope can be sent in with your child to hand to our administrator on the first week of term.
Sanitising
Students must use the hand sanitisers provided upon entering and exiting the building.
All students will be required to sanitise at the beginning and end of the lesson and the work space and instruments/music stands used will be sanitised by the teacher between each lesson. Each teacher will have a sanitising station in their rooms.

As of 28/02/2022 masks or face coverings are no longer required. Staff or students may choose to wear them but they are not mandatory.

You must let us know before 1:30 PM on the day of your lesson if you require a zoom lesson to be arranged instead of an in – person lesson.

All of our teachers have completed a Covid-19 safety course, and we have a safety officer appointed and are up to date with guidelines for best practices regarding singing and instrument tuition.
Please note that in the event that there is another lockdown and classes have to cease in-person, the term will be offered online as before, optional. (except for Little Stars Musicianship Classes)
Enrollment for lessons requires a completed enrollment form. Although we schedule students in order of enrollment and make every effort to suit student preferences, scheduling of lessons will depend on available time slots with the most suitable teacher(s).
