• Rooms must be reserved in advance. No walk-ins, no exceptions.

• You must arrive and leave the practice room at the assigned times—no exceptions.
• Practice rooms must remain vacant for at least one hour between reservations to allow for proper air turnover.

• Please follow physical-distancing, mask-wearing, and safety guidelines when leaving the practice room to use a restroom or water-bottle refilling station.
• Failure to follow health and safety guidelines puts you and others at risk. Students who repeatedly fail to comply with these guidelines will have their practice-room privileges revoked.
• Cleaning instructions and supplies are provided in each room.
• Do not unplug the damp-chasers set up to protect the pianos.
• Student lockers are not available for use.
