1. Admission to any programs or classes is always on a first-come, first-serve basis regardless of prior attendance in a class. We reserve the right to close registration for classes that are filled and to cancel classes that are under-subscribed. Please note that class size is limited.
2. Notice of withdrawal from a class or registration application must be in writing and must be postmarked via U.S. Postal Service 7 days/ 1 week before the first day of the same semester. Telephone and fax messages and/or email WILL NOT serve as sufficient notice of withdrawal for tuition refund. Any refunds due will be sent at the end of the semester.
3. Registration fees are non-refundable regardless of acceptance into a class or not. There are NO refunds of any kind after the first class of each semester. In the rare case that a class is cancelled due to under subscription, tuition and materials costs will be refunded via U.S. Postal Service by the end of the semester. All checks are deposited upon receipt separately from class registration and organization. Any check returned unpaid for any reason will be charged a $30.00 fee. There are no refunds given to OPEN REGISTRATION registrants (go to REGISTER tab).
4. Two (2) makeup classes per registered child on a space-available basis are allowed per semester. Makeups may not carry over into the next semester. Please find the "makeup sign-up book" in the class to write in your makeup class. You may sign up at any time during open hours. PLEASE DO NOT CALL to inquire about makeups and DO NOT DROP IN A CLASS TO ATTEMPT A MAKEUP.
5. For Music Together® Mixed Ages and Music Together® Mixed Ages for Saturdays siblings are welcome to have a one-time "guest visit" per semester. If a sibling must come to any other class due to unavoidable circumstances, there is a $15.00 charge due at the class. Infant siblings 8 months and younger may attend the same class FREE! (for these two classes only). Remember that there is a reduced fee for a sibling to participate in the same class.
6. SNOW POLICY -Classes are cancelled in accordance with the Montgomery County Public School system. When that school system cancels classes due to bad weather, all music classes are cancelled also; HOWEVER any school delays or early closings DO NOT AFFECT our class schedule, i.e. we will proceed with the normal class schedule. For Saturday classes or non-school days classes or in case of any doubt, check the home page of the website or you may listen to WTOP 103.5 FM or call 301-238-4568 for a recorded message. In the event of loss of power due to bad weather, we must wait until that utility is restored in order to update telephone, website and internet messages. There are NO MAKE-UPS or REFUNDS for classes cancelled due to weather.
7. We reserve the right to dismiss, without refund any child or adult who is unable to conduct him/herself in a respectful and acceptable manner. Simple common sense and respect for fellow class participants are the guidelines to insure a safe and pleasant classroom. Running is strongly discouraged, i.e., not permitted and an upset child can best be calmed outside of the classroom and then reenter.
8. Please turn off your cell phones upon entering the building. You may use your cell phone freely outside and away from the premises but not inside. Thank you for keeping your conversations to yourself.
9. Adults are entirely and solely responsible for the safety and well-being of their own child coming and going in the parking lot. Please hold their hands at all times.
