We're excited to share that the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), in partnership with the College Band Directors National Association (CBDNA), has posted some updated information on its aerosol study in a recent post: Unprecedented International Coalition led by Performing Arts Organizations to Commission COVID-19 Study.
The 40+ page research paper has been published to the University of Colorado Boulder Scholar library: Measurements and Simulations of Aerosol Released while Singing and Playing Wind Instruments. The Wall Street Journal also recently published an article entitled Band Practice in the Age of Covid-19 that highlights the results of the study with helpful animations and visuals.
Finally, the U.S. Department of Education's Safer Schools and Campuses Best Practices Clearinghouse has issued a call for examples of risk management practices in music classrooms. The Clearinghouse uses this information to share with music educators and music advocates for the safe reopening of schools.
