The transition to mostly online classes has been difficult for many students, but is especial- ly a struggle for students study- ing the fine arts. The music rehearsal, lesson and practice rooms in the fine arts complex that would usu- ally be open to walk-in students are now limited to one student at a time in 30-minute intervals. These rooms are only available through reservation. Tristin Wong, a piano perfor- mance and business accounting major, discussed how these re- strictions make studying piano performance difficult. “I’m living at home but come to UConn once a week for in person lessons.
