14.01.2022 TAKE THE SURVEY AND HELP GET US PLAYING, SINGING AND LEARNING MUSIC AGAIN RIVMEO is undertaking the biggest data collection yet on the impact of COVID-19 on the music sector and through Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium RIVMEO wants to hear from you. Our comprehensive survey asks how you have been affected by the current restrictions. We need to hear for the widest range of ensemble musicians possible, whether instrumentalists, vocalists, music educators or students. R...IVMEO is meeting with the NSW government soon to discuss ways we can return to music, and your participation in this survey will directly feed into our advocacy. This is the first survey to gather data from players and conductors alike, professional and community musicians, students of all ages, across all regions. RIVMEO's particular focus is NSW, but we also have made provision for people in all states to take part. Our survey design allows us to separate out data from different states and we will be happy to share the results with colleagues everywhere. Your data will not be used in a way that can identify individuals. We are looking for trends and the bigger our dataset the better. Take the survey and add your voice. Below are two links. The first to the survey and the second to the Facebook page for RIVMEO. Feel free to click on both and get involved. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RIVMEO https://www.facebook.com/RivmeoNSW/

06.01.2022 All the staff and teachers at the Coffs Con hope that everyone is enjoying a lovely break. We've got some more good news that was confirmed late last week. Ensembles can return in full from term 4 provided physical distancing is maintained at all times! This means Stage Band can come back along with the woodwind and brass sections of the Youth Orchestra! As for choirs, the ruling is 5 singers in a room appropriately spaced so we're getting creative and working out strategies... with our wonderful vocal teachers to see how we can get our choirs back up and running. Our COVID-19 conditions of entry and precautions remain the same at this time and we thank you for cooperating and helping keep the Con safe and enjoyable for everyone. Keep and eye on the Con's social media and emails from us to stay up to date and involved. We can't wait to welcome everyone back for the final term of 2020!
