Happy New Lockdown? Music Lessons restarting!

Friday, January 8, 2021 by Ceri Jones | Admin

Dear all 

I hope you had an enjoyable if somewhat different Christmas and New Year. After a very eventful term 2 we start term 3 with Lockdown version 3! I hope you have all stayed well and safe.

Online lessons are resuming fromSaturday January 9th via zoom or other online method.

Apologies for not being in contact sooner but I had a 2 prolonged admissions to hospital without access to my work phone and became subsequently became unwell with EColi pneumonia a hospital acquired infection but miraculously have remained after 14 tests so far Covid negative!

If you would like to restart lessons please email cjones@owlmusic.co.uk or message me  on 07531665665 with your ideal time slot and I will add it to the portal so we will try to start music making again!


As this lockdown is likely to continue until half term and face to face lessons restricted in a tier 4 area when we come out of lessons  I would suggest that if your child wishes to continue learning an instrument that we try returning to online lessons now setting up a regular slot and practice routine.


With the ever changing financial situation for families please contact me if finance is a barrier to learning as there are bursaries available to help with lesson and instrument costs.

Keep and eye on our Facebook page for musical challenges and information https://www.facebook.com/owlmusiclesson

I look forward to hearing from you.

Heres to a happier and more musical 2021

FACE to FACE Lessons Postponed - COVID

Friday, October 9, 2020 by Ceri Jones | admin

Dear all 

Well having just got back to teaching face to face with some pupils unfortunately I need to self isolate for 14 days as my husband has tested positive for Covid-19.

He is not unwell at the minute except for a mild cold - not even a fever but he was unable to taste a chicken tikka he made that was far too hot for everyone else (inedible!!) which prompted test.

No-one else in the household is currently showing any symptoms and fortunately due to shiftworking no pupils have been here at the same time. We have followed the strict guidance with regard to cleaning screens and hand sanitiser as per the risk assessment

I have contacted parents of children who were returning to face to face lessons individually. 

I will NOT be sending out practice packs and music as promised for the next few days as the virus can be transmitted on surfaces and paper.

To minimise risk tuning of string instruments is also on hold for the next 2 weeks.

As you are aware  I was born without a fully functioning immune system and so I am at risk of complications and becoming rapidly unwell from Covid-19 and so lessons may be cancelled at short notice

However as I am currently well Online lessons will continue as normal!

Stay safe everyone

Ceri
