The Colburn School’s utmost priority lies in the health and safety of its students, families, faculty, staff, and visitors. Throughout the pandemic, the Colburn School has carefully monitored COVID-19 locally as well as county, state, and federal guidelines regarding educational institutions.
Thank you in advance for carefully following our guidelines below.
The Colburn School has changed its general masking policy to align with the current State and County Health Department’s guidance, and indoor masking will be based on personal preference and is no longer required except as follows: Some instructors may continue requiring masks in their studios and classrooms and there may be times when masks are required in a meeting as determined by the person convening the meeting. The Colburn School fully supports these decisions. Accordingly, students should check with their instructor(s) regarding their masking policy and employees should keep a mask handy should one be required in a meeting. All employees, students, and guests are allowed to wear a mask if that is their personal preference and this decision should be treated with respect.
KN95 and standard masks are available at the Olive and Grand security desks, as well as child-sized masks.
Colburn no longer requires testing prior to lessons or classes. However, students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to test whenever there is a concern they might be ill with Covid-19. Free tests can be ordered from https://covidtests.gov/; please note that the Colburn security desks no longer have free tests available.

Do not use any cleaning products on the pianos. Our production assistants and piano technology staff will be cleaning equipment frequently. If you wish to bring your own cleaning wipes, they may be used on doorknobs and furniture. They cannot be used on the piano as they damage the instrument.
