Private lesson students are charged for all lessons or classes for which they register, including those missed through student absence. As a courtesy, students are expected to notify their teachers directly of any impending absence from lessons. Some instructors offer make-up lessons under certain circumstances, but they are not obligated to do so. If a teacher is absent for a lesson, a make-up will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time, or a substitute instructor may teach the lesson. Make-up for private lessons are given at the end of each semester except for snow closure, make-ups which will be given in June (see School calendar for dates)
Snow closure make-ups are limited to one day per year and will be made up during the June make up period. Students who drop from the school prior to the June make up period will forfeit the snow make up date.Student absence from group/ensemble instruction will not be made up.Scheduled make-up lessons missed by a student will not be made up.
Withdrawal and Refunds
Any request to withdraw from classes or lessons must be made in writing to The Concord Conservatory of Music. Verbal requests will not be honored.
Private instruction: 80 percent of the unused tuition is refunded if notice of withdrawal is given before the forth week of the term.
Classes or ensembles: No refunds will be given for classes since fees are based on a minimum enrollment.
If a class is cancelled due to insufficient enrollment, full tuition and registration fee (if applicable) will be refunded. In extreme cases involving serious illness, death, or relocation, arrangements for credit or refund can be made at the discretion of the school director.
