School of Music Plays on through �The Bubble�
The Cline School of Music has added a plastic drape, also known as the bubble, in music professors� offices to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during one-on-one music lessons.
The bubble is the newest part of North Greenville University�s COVID-19 protocol.
Music professor Seth Killen said, �We started looking into ways that we could continue to make music during the pandemic.�
The only way to continue teaching lessons unmasked and in person was through the bubble.
�I thought if we separated entirely, then everyone can be unmasked and we can carry on mostly normally,� said Killen.
Student and musician J.P. Waynick said the bubble took some time to get used to.
�It was really, really weird the first time we went into it. I guess we are trying to get used to it now,� said Waynick.
Even in his own space, Waynick said the experience is invaluable.
Whether wearing a mask in the classroom or unmasked in the bubble, the goal for the music department at North Greenville University is to continue face-to-face learning.
