SUMMARY:Webinar — Reentry after COVID - Concerns for Singers
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday June 23, 2021 8 – 9:30 pm ET | No advance registr
 ation required\n\nVia Official NATS YouTube Channel\n\nThe webinar "Ree
 ntry after COVID - Concerns for Singers" is a sequel presented by the s
 ame team who produced last year’s well-received NATS webinar, “After
  COVID: Concerns for Singers.” The companion paper, published by Jou
 rnal of Voice, had over 60,000 shares on social media, and broke records
  for readership and downloads. "Reentry after COVID" will consider new 
 COVID-19 related concerns as teachers, singers, coaches and pianists all
  prepare for in-person collaboration. While private studio owners can ma
 ke their own rules, reentry after COVID for institutionally-based singer
 s is more complicated by a number of factors, including: vaccine hesitan
 cy among both students and teachers, changing CDC recommendations, and u
 niversity administrations anxious to return to in-person teaching and le
 arning. This webinar, and its upcoming companion article in the Journal
  of Voice, will provide fact-based evidence to all singers, including pr
 ivate studio owners and other free agents, to help them safely navigate
  the coming changes. Topics include:\n\n* Updated information on Aerosol
 s, Droplets and Fomites\n\n* To Mask or Not to Mask?\n\n* Vaccination Is
 sues:\n\n* Efficacy\n\n* Hesitancy among both Students and Teachers\n\n*

 lation Issues:\n\n* CO2 metering\n\n* HEPA filtering\n\n* Air change bet
 ween lessons\n\n* Psychological Factors and Lingering Pandemic Trauma\n\
