Music unit policies, protocols, and daily operational expectations
Recommended practices for the care, maintenance, and handling of instruments, including sanitization, cleaning, and carriage of instruments are addressed in lessons and master classes on a weekly basis. Our Band Graduate Assistant addresses the needs of instrument repair and maintenance at partner music stores as advised by faculty. Heavy equipment, including choral risers, pianos, recording equipment, and sound reinforcement equipment (speakers, amps, and mixing consoles), and percussion instruments, are moved under the supervision of faculty or authorized personnel.1. Promoting musician’s health:
Faculty supervision ensures student safety and health when moving large equipment. Faculty encourages using gloves, lifting in teams, using dollies and rolling carts when appropriate.2. Maintaining the fitness and safety of equipment and technology:
The fitness and safety of equipment and technology is maintained through our Coordinator of Music Technology and our Director of Technology for the College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media. Concerns are addressed in a timely manner.
