FALL 2015 MUSIC LESSONS with IMSCC

The Instrumental Music School of Carlisle & Concord (IMSCC) provides convenient and reasonably priced individual music lessons with highly qualified professional musician-teachers for students in the Concord and Carlisle Schools. IMSCC is a division of the Adult and Community Education Department of the Concord-Carlisle School District. Lessons for adults are also available.

Lessons with IMSCC are designed to complement and support the instrumental and choral music programs offered in the schools starting in grades 4 and 5. IMSCC lessons are optional and require a fee. Students who have had at least one year of school instrumental music instruction are encouraged to consider individual lessons. For inquiries regarding lessons for beginning students, younger children, or students not involved in school music programs, please call the IMSCC office or contact a Music Director.

The following instruments are available for individual study: violin, viola, cello, string bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, baritone horn (euphonium), tuba, percussion (drums), guitar (electric and acoustic), bass guitar, piano, and voice. We try to accommodate instruments and teachers requested.

Registration for Fall Semester lessons begins in June. Priority in scheduling will be given first to continuing students who pre-register. Teachers will contact new students toward the end of the summer. Priority in scheduling new students will be based on the order in which registrations are received.

ABSENCE POLICY FOR IMSCC STUDENTS AND TEACHERS

STUDENTS Absences from lessons will be excused and a make-up lesson will be scheduled with no additional charge for the following reasons only: ! School cancellation ! Teacher absence ! Conflict with a required school music department event with advance notification to the teacher These are the only absences for which a teacher will make up a lesson missed by the student.

Lessons missed due to forgetfulness, illness, transportation difficulties, doctor’s appointments, sports conflicts, etc. are not excused and can not be made up. Absences involving a major injury to a student or a prolonged illness will be treated with compassion and discretion by the teacher. Occasionally, and with advance notice, a teacher may be able to accommodate student schedule changes as their own schedule permits.

TEACHERS Teachers are expected to deliver sixteen lessons during the Fall and Winter/Spring semesters. (Summer schedules are more customized.) It is understood that it is not always possible for a teacher to provide the full complement of sixteen lessons per semester owing to unforeseen circumstances; however, all teachers adhere as closely as possible to this expectation in order to maintain the musical progress of their students. Lessons not given by the teacher due to teacher illness, professional conflicts, etc. are rescheduled, usually by the end of the semester. If a lesson missed due to teacher absence is not made up by the end of the semester, the cost will be credited to the next semester or refunded.

WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PROGRAM Students may withdraw from the program only at the end of a semester. Students who withdraw because of an incapacitating injury or illness may request a refund of unused tuition (instructional portion). Otherwise there will be no refunds issued after the second lesson of the semester.
