Our COVID-19 Policy - Ultimate Guitar Academy

Whilst we’re not into panic buying, we do take the COVID-19 virus seriously. We’ve taken steps to make sure our staff, students and families stay safe, and have a plan of action in the event of a lockdown, outbreak or exposure.

Our Covid-Safe Guidelines

Students should maintain a distance of 1.5m between others and their teacher
We recommend wearing facemasks at all times
Students should use their own instrument, rather than borrowing one of our spare guitars
Students should tune their own guitars wherever possible
Any attendees should use the provided hand sanitiser upon arrival
If a students is unwell, they should either reschedule or have their lesson via Skype
Students are welcome to convert any lesson to be conducted via Skype

Our Lockdown Protocol

In the event of a lockdown, all lessons will be conducted via Skype, Zoom or any other video call format that students may have.
If a student or teacher needs to self-isolate due to any form of exposure, the lessons will be converted to online learning via Skype, Zoom or FaceTime.
In the vast majority of cases, the regular lesson day/time can be maintained.
Not only have we been teaching via Skype for about ten years now, but just about all of our lesson materials are online, even for students who attend lessons in-person. The difference between a Skype lesson and an in-person lesson is really quite minimal, especially if the teacher takes the right approach.
