They haven't thought this one through either. A child might be fine with a 20-minute lesson out of doors in January, but the teacher is doing 20-minute lessons all day long. Also, temperature affects the pitch of brass and woodwind instruments. And metal can get very cold....
And they've obviously never seen a school practice room.
I might as well give up. This advice undermines everything I teach.
