The Summer Music Clinic is a perfect opportunity for us to get back to in person playing!
We will follow covid-19 safety protocols relevant to music performance, which will include the use of specialized performance PPE, social distancing, and frequent breaks.
Registered students will receive:
What if I can't make all of the sessions?
No problem! We of course would like you at all of them, but if there are certain days that conflict with something else you have going on, that's okay. We only ask that you keep Mr. Salgado informed of any sessions you will be missing.
Who can attend?
Any student that plays a band instrument that is attending Bremen H.S. next school year can attend the band sessions.
Any student that has an interest in singing in the choir, that is attending Bremen H.S. next school year, may attend the choir sessions.
Is the clinic inside or outside?
We plan to be outside as much as possible. However, if the weather is bad (rain, very windy, too hot, random summer snow, etc.) we will be inside. Students should be prepared for both scenarios daily. Whether we are inside or out, we will maintain, at minimum, the appropriate distance between performers, which is 6 feet, and 9 feet for trombones/baritones/tubas.
If I am fully vaccinated do I still have to wear a mask?
Yes. We will follow all music performance covid-19 safety protocols. We anticipate no change from our current practices, with regard to performing music during the pandemic. We are all looking forward to not having to wear a mask, but everyone will not be vaccinated by the time we begin or end our summer clinic. We have to hang in there a little longer to keep everyone safe.
What do I have to provide for the clinic?
Every student should supply their own:
I know it says free, but how much does it really cost?
Ummmmm.........nothing. It's actually free. There is no fee to attend the Bremen Summer Music Clinic. You don't have to pay anything to attend. It's, ummmm, free.
I'm not registered for a music class at Bremen next year. Can I still attend?
Yes, you can still attend the clinic! However, if this applies to you, after you register, please contact Mr. Salgado so that he can try and convince you to enroll in one of his music classes next fall!
There's something that I don't understand or am concerned about regarding the summer music clinic, so I'm not sure if I should sign up. What should I do?
Contact Mr. Salgado! He wants to hear from you! Sometimes things just need to be talked out over the phone, by text, or over email.
I have more questions. Who do I ask?
Mr. Salgado of course! Please contact him at his school Google voice number: 708-928-5720. You can call or text.
