When would you feel ok to resume private music lessons

[billybagpuss]

I’m a piano teacher and teach in my home in a space that was a garage so long and thin. I really want to get back to face to face as I have huge headaches after online teaching.

There has not been any helpful specifics on when it’s ok to start back up. Obviously if I can’t have parents visit in my home I certainly can’t have students, but on the other hand if schools are ok to go back why not private tutors? I will have to make some adjustments such as no other people in the room as there isn’t space if I’m to sit 2m away, which worries me from a safeguarding point of view as parents have always been welcome to sit in if they want to, but very few do.

Just after some input here do you think:
A) June 15th
B) July at the same time as hairdressers
C) September with the rest of the school years

@GabriellaMontez for the most part I can keep 2m distance but I think I might have to keep the beginners away until September for that reason as it involves lots of demo and duet work. I can’t really justify buying an electric piano for the sake of a couple of months, I may see if I could borrow one.

What about a smaller keyboard? Just for demos. Less than £200. I'm just thinking about the possibility of ongoing restrictions or further small scale lockdowns.
