Policies and ProceduresAdmission Procedures
New students and their parents are invited to attend an admissions interview or telephone consultation with the Director of Education, scheduled by appointment. This consultation provides the opportunity to ensure appropriate placement, scheduling and orientation to the program. The school's policies and procedures will be reviewed at this meeting and plenty of time is given for any questions the student and family may have.
Tuition and Fees
Tuition is payable prior to the start of classes each term. Payment plans may be negotiated with the office; however, a multiple payment plan does not invalidate the obligation to pay for the entire semester. A non-refundable registration fee of $25 per student/$50 maximum per family is payable annually.
Scheduling
Lesson times are scheduled at the mutual convenience of the student and teacher and are permanent for the full term. Students in private instruction are allowed one make-up lesson per term for an absence when the school is notified by 10:00 a.m. on the morning of the lesson. Additional student absences in the term will not be rescheduled. Please keep this in mind when confirming your permanent lesson time.
Any lessons missed by the teacher or due to school closing will be made up. All rescheduling is done between student and teacher. There are no make-ups for group classes/ensembles except for teacher or school cancellation.
Scholarships and Financial Aid
The Manchester Community Music School maintains an active financial assistance program. Eligibility is based on merit and financial need. Financial aid application forms are available in the office, or you may click here to download.
Cancellations
The Manchester Community Music School reserves the right to cancel any class not meeting minimum class enrollments. Should the School cancel a class, a full refund will be made.
Refunds
Students may drop private lessons during the first three weeks of the term when the Executive Director is notified in writing. Refunds for private instruction tuition will be given, less a 20% service charge, for the remaining lessons of the term. Tuition for group classes is not refundable.
Inclement Weather
In the event of a weather emergency, the Music School will cancel morning classes and lessons only when the Manchester Public Schools are closed. Decisions are made throughout the day regarding all other classes and lessons.
Our website will carry timely information regarding delays or cancellations due to inclement weather. Or you can call the MCMS office at 603-644-4548 for further information. There will be a message on the phone greeting if no one is in the office.
Class Locations
The School is located in historic north Manchester, at 2291 Elm Street in the classroom building known as Holy Cross Hall for the former Notre Dame College.
Parking
Parking is available in our Trenton Street parking lot, with accessible parking and entrance available via the driveway at 2291 Elm Street. If the Trenton Street lot is full, we suggest parking on Trenton Street or Elm Street, or follow parking instruction signs on other area residential streets.
