Studio partially is opened on June1st

GET STARTED

Online lessons will continue to be available after we are open!

You do not have to take lessons in the studio. If you have found that you prefer to take online lessons then you will have that option moving forward. We will not end online lessons. It will always be an option for you.

Neighborhood Music will begin teaching in studio June 1

We are still waiting for guidance from Tri-County Health and the City of Aurora, but anticipate that we will open with limited capacity June 1. These decisions are subject to change.

· Especially for our younger learners, online has not been so great and we continue to seek the safest way to open our studios with ongoing input from local, state, and regional epidemiological data.

· We will start by bringing only 5 teachers back to the studio per day. The rest of our teachers will continue with online lessons. Our schedulers will reach out to you to ask your preference and to announce who the first round of in-studio teachers will be and who will continue online lessons.

· Each week we will consider a 25% increase of in-studio teachers, depending on current epidemiological data and recommendations from the city and state.
