Standard practices for both classroom/virtual choral instruction and environment.
Note - Our intent as a department is to cover these procedures /practices separately from our traditional classroom procedure guidelines within the course expectation document. It will allow us the opportunity to demonstrate and elaborate on specific procedures that require additional explanation/training.
Choral Classroom Procedures - (New for 2020-2021)
- Sit only in your assigned seat in the classroom.
- Maintain appropriate social distancing at all times - 6’ minimum when not singing. 12’ minimum when singing.
- Keep your facemask positioned on your face, nose and under your chin, unless directed otherwise. You will not be allowed to remove your facemask while singing.
- Do not share your personal supplies with other students. Be sure to have your supplies as your teachers will not be able to share their supplies with you.
- Stay in your seat unless instructed otherwise. If movement throughout the classroom is required, get permission from the teacher beforehand.
- You will be assigned a folder. This will be your folder for the entire year. Do not share your folder or music with anyone else.
