Further Music Mark advice for a singing lesson includes the following: - limit the singing session to 40 minutes - ensure good ventilation (doors and windows open to increase airflow) - have all pupils facing the same way - with some social distancing as the space allows - sing at a reduced volume - do not insist on musical theatre levels of diction Also: “If [you are] singing one song as part of another lesson then just do it” From Singing – Spring 2021 Music Mark
