After carefully considering the current public health trends in Cambridge and the surrounding neighborhoods, the NSM Board of Directors and I have decided that the most responsible decision at this point is to extend our current remote-only period for two more weeks.

This means that all lessons and classes will continue to remain online-only until Monday, February 1. Group classes that are unable to take place virtually will continue to be postponed until that date.

I am cautiously optimistic that this is the last time we will have to extend our remote period. We will be reviewing the school health and safety policies in the next two weeks to make sure that we are able to reopen safely in February. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time. As much as we all miss making music together in the same room, the health and safety of our students and larger community are NSM's top priority.
