COVID-19 risk assessment for voice teachers and coaches »

We are putting this important paper on our website that had been translated from German to English with the help of Prof. Marilyn Schmiege of BDG and Scott Swope in the USA. It is not an encouraging document to quickly start individual lessons or choral rehearsals again. Plexi screens between teacher and student might be a necessity in the first start-up period. It is all the more reason to ask for support for all financially affected artists.
