The Shedd is always in compliance with state health guidance with timely policy/procedural updates being implemented as the state issues adjustments to its guidance documents. As of 8/21/20, these mandated guidelines limit classes to 10 students maximum and a regimen of safety and hygiene protocols to which The Shedd adhers strictly. Three major points: (1) All patrons, students, and faculty ages 5 and up are required to wear a face covering while at The Shedd. (2) All patrons, students, families and faculty must check in with the front office upon arrival at The Shedd. (3) Classrooms are disinfected before the first lesson/class, in between each lesson/class, and after the last lesson/class. More detailed guidance regarding masking and distancing is available on request to the school registrar.

Music and World Cultures is our assembly-style offering to area schools and home schoolers. We hold a 10:15 am performances by select guest artists throughout the year, featuring a wide range of musical genres, including jazz, Hawai'ian, Bluegrass, taiko, American folk music, and more. Each program comes with a curriculum packet for participating classes.

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing school and general shutdown in response to COVID-19, all Music & World Cultures programs have been suspended until further notice.
