Covid19 Information and Recommendations

We encourage healthy lifestyles, good food, exercise and friendly social interaction, whether at home, during music lessons, performances, rehearsals at work or in public.
From 8th February 2022
 Covid19 Update:
ABC Studios is able to provide in-person music tuition on a one-to-one basis and in small groups. We are also continuing to provide optional one-to-one online tuition using Zoom.

According to the NZ Government information accessed third of February 2022:

"Classes can run, providing virtual classes may be appropriate in some cases. Face coverings are encouraged."

  • We ask students to arrive at the actual time of their lesson to minimise contact with other students. We attempt to keep a minimum distance each person in the studio. 
  • Face coverings are 'encouraged' means that we greet at the door wearing a mask and it is up to you to decide if you prefer to use the mask in the studio. Your teacher is required to wear a mask.
  • The studio is air-conditioned and ventilated.
  • Singers have a windowed screen, a 'gobo' that effectively reduces the spread of airborne particles. Singing is possible in a mask, especially with microphones and headphones. Singers do not have to wear a mask. There may be times when you prefer not to use one and we can talk about that during your lesson.

We approach health issues responsibly and of course take them seriously. Health for musicians goes beyond the mandated requirements of protection from viruses. We encourage healthy lifestyles, good food, exercise and friendly social interaction, whether at home, during music lessons, performances, rehearsals at work or in public.

We are continuing to provide one-to-one online tuition using Zoom.

The studio is also open for recording services, mixing and mastering using Zoom and cloud-based file transfer.

If you need to isolate you can postpone your lessons until you are ready to attend again. You also have the choice to study online. Many students prefer to study online. There are obvious benefits to online learning, including convenience and travel. Where people have fast internet services, we are 'evolving' our courses and anticipate that lessons via video links, recording and website resources are likely to continue (Click here for recommendations on equipment for Online Learning.)

ABC studios has teaching and learning materials on our websites with your own login to help you practise and study in the time between each lesson.
Our theme is: Music - Education, Media and Performance so now is the time to learn, use technology for learning and most importantly make the magic of music every day.
