Nonprofit music school finds creative solution to keep beat going amid pandemic
ALBANY, California (KGO) During the COVID-19 pandemic, all non-essential businesses were forced to shut their doors indefinitely.
Blue Bear School of Music closed their doors mid-March of 2020 and had to cancel all future in-person music lessons and programs to students.
Within a week, Blue Bear School of Music had to shift 40 music instructors to online music lessons.
“The most recent evolution and pivot with the pandemic was the most dramatic ever for the school,” said Steve Savage, executive director of Blue Bear School of Music. “We have to be creative and figure out how we can provide programs in this environment.”
