Bmore Strings Covid-19 Guidelines

Bmore Strings is pleased to offer both virtual, hybrid, and in-person music lessons to meet your needs during the Covid-19 health pandemic. In an effort to keep students, families, and teachers safe and healthy during in-person music lessons, please adhere to Bmore Strings Covid-19 Guidelines:

Health Screening Questions During COVID-19

Bmore Strings students will be screened prior to each in-person lesson by their instructor:

• Have you had any Covid-19 symptoms in the past 14 days including fever/chills, cough, shortness of breath, muscle or body aches, new loss of taste or smell?
• Have you or anyone in your household had a positive Covid-19 diagnostic test in the past 14 days?
• Have you had a close contact with a confirmed or suspected Covid-19 case in the past 14 days?

Bmore Strings students and/or families who answer “Yes” to any of the above questions and are currently Covid-19 positive, showing Covid-19 symptoms, sick, or under a school or doctor mandated quarantine should not attend in-person lessons. Instead, please call Bmore Strings at: 410-450-4355 or email liz@bmorestrings.com, and we will happily reschedule your lesson and can offer both in-person and virtual make-up lessons or issue a lesson credit (refund) for any missed lessons.
