Music & band

A private practice room is the highest-trust setting you run.

One-on-one lessons behind a closed door are the heart of a music camp — and the exact scenario screening exists for. VolunteerBadge clears every instructor and volunteer for $5 with biometric identity verification, so the adult alone with a child is fully vetted.

Private, one-on-one, door-closed instruction is the single setting child-protection experts warn about most. Two-adult rules help, but they don't replace a documented background check on every instructor — they work together.

Music camp screening questions

Why do music camps need especially careful screening?

Music instruction often happens one-on-one in a practice room with the door closed — private, unsupervised contact that abuse-prevention guidance flags as the highest-risk setting. A documented check on every instructor is essential.

Do sectional coaches and accompanists need checks?

Yes — anyone who works with students individually or in small groups, including volunteer accompanists and sectional leaders. Each is a single $5 check.

How fast can our music staff be cleared?

Instructors verify from their phone and most checks return same-day to 48 hours, so the whole faculty is cleared before lessons begin.

Vet every instructor
