A practice room/space is assigned to a smaller pod of students who are responsible for scheduling time and sharing that space. For practice rooms, ensembles, and techniques classes the following guidelines must be followed:

听

• Hand sanitizing stations are placed around the college for frequent use by students, faculty, staff and visitors.
• Doors and windows must be open at the beginning and end of each class and practice session (weather permitting) to ensure that students will minimize touching door knobs or handles, and to allow for air to circulate around the space.
• Musicians should refrain from sharing classroom materials such as valve oil, pens or pencils, paper, iPads, instruments, or other supplies.
• Musicians should not touch or move other students鈥� instruments, music, mouthpieces or cases.
• It is the responsibility of the individual musician to disinfect shared equipment such as mallets, cymbals, or other percussion equipment.
