I'm going to Trinity Laban studying BMus classical guitar performance in September. In my opinion, things look like they won't be super different from how they would have been otherwise.
Generally, it's going to be a mix of online and in-person activities. They're also recording building entry and taking temperature when you do go in. You can only go in for scheduled activities.
-Music history will be online the whole year. Also, our end of year assessment will be 100% of our grade for that subject.
-Class sizes for in person activities will be smaller, with a rota system for activities that require lots of people.
-Applied musicianship will be online in term one, in person in term two. Alexander technique will be term two and movement for musicians will be term three.
-Symphony orchestras will be broken into smaller chamber orchestras (doesn't apply to me, but I imagine most ensembles will be reduced in size where needed).
-Artist as a citizen will be online, and CoLab will continue with social distancing (unless there's further lockdown).
-For freshers, there will be a mix of online and in-person stuff, but they've not given us detail yet.
-We have to wear masks to and from campus, and in buildings if asked.
Because it's a conservatoire though, there's only around 1,200 students in the whole conservatoire (across 3 buildings/campuses, undergrad and postgrad). I think this makes it easier to have more in-person learning. We also start earlier in the year than most unis, so that's why things look fairly confirmed for us too.
