Sound Start has always taken health and safety concerns very seriously, not only for our smallest customers and their families, but also for our teachers and their families. We have a generous make-up policy in place and ask families not to attend class sick (even just a little sick). Thanks to the CDC and the International Coalition of Performing Arts Aerosol Study. we have a great understanding of ways to offer music classes safely. (Singing uses forced-air breathing which is more like sneezing and coughing. Forced-air breathing emits significantly more airborne particles than regular breathing.) We offer outdoor, indoor and online classes. While we do not require masking we encourage compliance with the CDC recommendation of mask use in indoor settings when Covid-19 community levels are medium or high. To check levels at your class location, see below:
