Noble Music Studios - Policies                   

Registration and Payment

Student registration is complete when the Enrollment form has been filled and payment is made. No lesson time will be reserved until the registration and payment arrangements are complete. For more information please contact the Studio.

Lessons Missed By The Student When a student enrolls for lessons, the instructor commits a weekly time for lessons. Both the instructor’s income and the music instruction budget are dependent on the fees generated by these reserved times, and it is therefore not possible to offer refunds for lessons missed or cancelled by the student. Each student is allowed (2) two cancellations per block of twelve lessons provided that the Office receives a minimum of 24 hours notice. The cancellation may be used for illnesses, vacations, doctor appointments, school concerts, etc. Lessons cancelled because of social events or lack of time will not be refunded or made up. After two cancellations in a block of twelve lessons, lessons missed by the student will not be rescheduled. A cancellation allowance that is not used may not be rolled over to a future lesson block.

Makeup lessons are used to replace excused cancellations. Makeup lessons are scheduled through the Studio at a time that is convenient for both the instructor and the student.

Missed Group Lessons
Missed group lessons or workshops will not be refunded or rescheduled. 

Lesson Forfeits
No Shows, which result from the student not giving any notice of absence, will be charged as a lesson forfeit, and the student forfeits monies paid toward that lesson. Calling during or after lesson time is also considered a No Show. Late Cancellations and No Shows are not covered under the Lessons Missed by the Student described above.

Lessons Missed by the Instructor
If an instructor is unable to teach a scheduled lesson (i.e. other professional commitments or illness), the instructor will give as much advance notice as possible. The Studio will contact students as soon as possible so that we may reschedule student lessons.

 

Refunds
Classes and private lessons already underway have no refund policy.

Workshop Cancellations
Workshops have a minimum enrollment and these numbers vary from class to class. If the minimum enrollment is not reached the class will be cancelled or, if possible, combined.

 

Inclement Weather We do not always close when the School Board closes schools due to inclement weather; quite often by the afternoon, when our lessons begin, the roads are cleared. If the weather is questionable please contact us at 883 8288. If we close we will endeavour to contact you. Please note that an instructor may have to cancel due to the weather as some of our instructors travel quite a distance to teach. We will contact you if the instructor must cancel. We appreciate your understanding when we do close and thank you for your cooperation when we call to reschedule the missed lesson.

Practice and Instrument Policy
Students must have an instrument at home to practice on; otherwise they will not progress in their lessons. Practice sessions of at least 20 minutes a day, five times per week are recommended. Without practice, a student's progress in lessons is greatly reduced and holds back others' progress in a group lesson.

Keyboards, drum sets, and amplifiers are supplied by Noble Music Studios. Guitars, violins, fiddles, and basses are not provided and students must bring their own instrument to lessons.

Suspension of Students
Noble Music Studios reserves the right to suspend students for non-payment of tuition or inappropriate conduct.

Cancellation of Instruction
Noble Music Studios reserves the right to withdraw any course or level of instruction at any time without notice or liability other than to refund tuition fees received for lessons cancelled due to such withdrawal.

Agreement
It is hereby understood and agreed that the student and parent/guardian of the student agree to comply with the policies of Noble Music Studios Limited.
