Response: At the present time, the guidance remains accurate and reflects the best science that we have available. Specifically, Requirements D o not allow elective s and ext racurricular activities in which physical distancing (at least six feet) and face covering use cannot be maintained at all times. Do not allow aerosol generating activities, including in-person choir, band, and vocal cheerleading activities (cheers and chants)due to increased risk of disease transmission As there is not sufficient science around aerosol-generation of band and choral activities, both indoor and outdoor activities are prohibited at this time. We will continue to review additional science related to this topic and adjust the guidance as appropriate. In-person choir, band, and vocal cheerleading activities must be modified to eliminate in-person singing, playing of wind instruments, cheering and chanting. We encourage schools to consider arts activities such as choir and band rehearsal usingZoom or other distance learning platforms that allows students to participate in separate spaces employing a flipped modelwhere practice is done at home or using distance-learning technology and in-person class time is used for non-aerosol generating arts activities (such as rhythm study, music theory, music history, composition, analysis, and more) may be done in person in classroom settings that comply with the guidance on classroom settings.

Arts Distance Learning & Updates FALL 2020 Guidance for Music Education With recent direction to cancel bands and choir until futher notice, educators are finding new and creative avenues to to teach. We would like to share some resources for PreK-12 school administrators and music educators seeking to provide meaningful music instruction for students of all ages and grade levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this unique time, music educators are modifying their practices not only in teaching, but in classroom orientation, cleaning, spacing and management. It is understood that, as trained professionals, music educators want to offer the very best instruction so all students can learn and grow in their knowledge, understanding, and love of music. This guide asserts that music educators can still do that, but also acknowledges that how we deliver teaching may be different than in the past.
