We are starting remote, but I don’t see any handheld instruments being used this year. I don’t have a class set of anything other than rhythm sticks. I can create a class set or more of eggshakers. Can wipe either of those down if I only use once a day, but I often have 2-4 classes in a row who would use them. I have a class entering as one exits, so there is no time in between for sanitizing even the chairs, much less instruments or mallets.
I saw someone post a sanitizing cart on here though. Supplies on top, and bins below to hold items to be sanitized. If you had 2x the number of mallets needed, you could have a clean set to be used, while the first set is drying from being sprayed down and keep rotating.
Thank you!
I've been in-person since Sept. 8. Kids sanitize hand as they enter (masked, sitting 6' apart). We use the mallet instruments, then I clean the mallets afterwards. My bars are fiberglass so I clean them at the end of the day. Kids sanitize hands on the way out of class too.
