Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update – March 12, 2020

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update:

Dear TBMA Family,

Like you, Tampa Bay Music Academy is concerned about the occurrence of the COVID-19 (Novel coronavirus).  As we respond to the ever-changing environment it is the safety of our students, their families, our staff and faculty that remains our highest priority. While we continue to closely monitor recommendations and protocols established by the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and local health departments in regard to COVID-19, we remain committed to providing you convenient you with quality music education.

At this point, we have no plans to close the school any sooner than our already scheduled Spring Break, which begins on Monday, March 16th.  

Here are a few precautionary measures that we are taking at TBMA:

• Our teachers will ask each student to carefully wash his/her hands prior to the start of each lesson.
• We are increasing the frequency of wiping down and sanitizing our instruments and equipment.
• We will make hand sanitizer available on site for our students, guests, and employees.
• We also recommend that patients follow guidelines issued by the CDC, and if you are sick, please take steps to safeguard others and remain at home.  To date, routine hygienic measures are the suggested best practice for the prevention of viruses like the coronavirus.
