Membership

Each student or family must purchase a yearly membership to be eligible to register for lessons and programs. The $40 cost of the membership covers all administrative costs and replaces the former registration fees.

Attendance/Payment Policies

Registration is complete when full payment has been received by NSM. Only completed registrations qualify to start lessons and/or classes at NSM. Attending classes or informing instructors of the intent to register does not constitute registering for courses.
A late fee of $25 will be applied to any account where payment is received 30 days or more past the start of the term.
All purchased lessons must be used by the end of the term. No credits or refunds will be provided after the term ends.

Makeup lessons and classes

NSM instructors are able to provide one makeup for student absences, over the course of the term, provided 24 hours notice was given.
All teacher absences or weather cancellations will be made up within the term.
In the event that a group class is cancelled, NSM will add an additional makeup class at the end of the term.

Withdrawals and Refunds

Private Lessons – Office must be notified by the 4th lesson of intent to withdraw, refund will be 80% of the unused tuition; no refund after the 4th lesson of the term.
