The Eastman School of Music strives to create an environment that is respectful and comfortable as well as nurturing and productive. We recognize that in the ordinary course of musical instruction, an instructor may believe that some physical contact could be helpful to convey a pedagogical idea. In these cases, the following guidelines are intended to clarify safe and reasonable practices for interactions between music teachers and students. To review the complete guidelines, please see https://www.esm.rochester.edu/equity/guidelines-for-lessons-and-instructional-activities/.
