ONLINE LESSON REQUIREMENTS 
All students must review the tech guidelines and abide by minimum standards for successful study. Guidelines include adequate internet signal, a primary platform, a secondary platform in case of primary platform failure, and an updated device in good working condition. 

ABSENCE 
Compass is primarily a flexible program that does not rely on meeting on specific days or times. Odyssey members sign up for one live online lesson monthly at a specific time and date. Odyssey members have these options when a conflict arises for the scheduled live online lesson: 

• If conflict arises 48 hours or more before the scheduled lesson, member can go to the signup, delete the lesson and signup for a new time/day. If a suitable rescheduled time/date cannot be found, lesson will convert to a video exchange lesson*. 
• If conflict arises less than 48 hours before the scheduled lesson, lesson will convert to a video exchange lesson*.  
• *Video exchange lesson: I will start a lesson topic on the member’s Flipgrid home. Member will respond by creating two 3-minute videos highlighting playing and/or questions. I will give video feedback and guidance.  
• If I will be absent, the above will also apply.  

HEALTH & SAFETY PLAN 
Compass is designed to be a fully online learning opportunity. Odyssey members who live locally may elect to take the monthly live lesson in-person. In this case, the following applies: 

• All students will wash hands or use hand sanitizer upon entering studio. 
• The state of Indiana does not currently require masks. If student enters the music room with a mask on, I will put my mask on, too. Otherwise, masks are not required. I am fully vaccinated against Covid. 
• FMS uses hands-free teaching methods including modeling, describing, and a carefully-used laser pointer. Two pianos spaced 7’ apart are used – one for the student, one for the teacher.
