Lea's Lessons

Hello Lea's Lessons Students and Clients!

Today is the first day of the "Covid Passport" Rollout.
As such, I feel a notice on behalf of Lea's Lessons is appropriate.

After review of the Q&As provided by the health unit, I have come to the conclusion that my business is *NOT* one of the establishments that will require proof of vaccination or proof of identity. Since most of my students are under the age of 12 anyway, there is little cause for concern, but for those of you who do fall under the umbrella of vaccine eligibility, I wanted to lay any potential anxieties to rest.

Regardless of policy, however, I am still committed to the safety of my students and families. Thus:

1. I am still leaving a 15-minute buffer between students of differing households to allow for minimal exposure between families. Please do not show up for your lesson more than 5 minutes prior to your start time so as to give me a chance to properly sanitize and to allow any students before you adequate time to leave the premises.

2. Workspaces and high-touch areas (such as doorknobs, piano benches, etc) are sanitized before each student arrives (including between lessons).

3. Masks are to be worn both by myself and my students due to the fact that proper distancing is not possible for lessons.

4. As a general rule - pandemic or not - please refrain from attending lessons in person if you are not feeling well. My rule of thumb has always been "if you're fit for school, you're fit for lessons" - with the opposite also being true. If you are unable to attend either school or your workplace due to illness, please do not come to your lesson. Lea's Lessons does not charge for missed sessions due to illness, and any pre-paid lessons will be credited on your following invoice.

5. While I am not asking for vaccination status of my patrons, I myself have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 for the protection of those who are not.

6. Parents dropping off/picking up their children for lessons are encouraged to wait outside.

While Lea's Lessons does still maintain its "Open-Door Policy," where parents may drop in and watch the lesson at any time, it is encouraged at this time that drop-ins be kept to a minimum. I do have a completed and up-to-date Vulnerable Sector's Check and welcome any questions you may have regarding lessons or policies in place.

I look forward to our continued time in-person together and hope you are all healthy and thriving :)

With love and kindness,

Lea

Good afternoon everyone and happy winter solstice!
As I'm sure you're all aware by now, Premier Ford has announced another lockdown.
That being said, for the week of January 4, there will be no in-person lessons, and depending on how this lockdown will continue, this may extend further. Any student who would like to take their lesson virtually is welcome to do so, either by facebook video, zoom, or facetime. Anyone who is not comfortable doing so may cancel their lessons with no fee and we will resume once the lockdown lifts or if you become comfortable with virtual lessons at a later date.
For the purpose of keeping things as simple as possible, I will hold off on sending January invoices until matters become more clear on when the lockdown will subside, or once I have spoken to you individually to determine how you would like to proceed.
Thank you for your patience in this matter and hopefully we will be back in person sooner rather than later.
Blessings to you all and I wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and Happiest of New Years!

Lea

This is it folks! September 1st!
Thank you for all my returning students who have contacted me to confirm your time slots this fall. I have sent a follow-up email for those of you who have not yet done so.
In the interest of reserving priority placing to returning students, I am not accepting new students until next week. At that time, if you or someone you know is interested in piano lessons, feel free to send me a message and I can answer any questions you may have.
Enjoy your last week (or two for some of you) of summer!
I hope to see you all again soon :)

Lea
