PLYMOUTH â With his new Music Training Center location at Plymouth Meeting Mall shut down by the pandemic, founder and owner Darryl Schick simply applied his fondness for innovation to a potentially difficult situation.
Schick and his staff of teachers found ways to funnel their passion and dedication into transitioning not only Plymouth Meeting but three other MTC schools into virtual learning venues â complete with one-on-one instruction, group classes and livestream performances.
âWe actually got closed down on the day we were supposed to open in Plymouth Meeting,â said Schick, who had relocated the school from Ridge Pike in Conshohocken. âWe reopened when the order was lifted in June, however we continue to operate all of our programs virtually. The storefront is open and we have a receptionist there to give tours, but because of COVID weâre still doing everything through our online platform.â
