General rules - International Music School

ACADEMIC YEAR AND REGISTRATION

The annual courses run from September through June, upon completion of the scheduled classes. You can enroll in the association’s courses at any time, provided that the instructor and facilities are available.
For individual courses, you can request a free 30-minute trial lesson, subject to the instructor’s availability and while spots are still available. For group courses, a trial lesson is considered free only if you do not subsequently enroll; if you do enroll, the trial lesson will count toward your annual total hours.
To attend the music courses and activities offered by the International Music School – Trieste, you must be a member of the AGM Centro per gli studi APS association. Upon registration, you will be asked to fill out the appropriate online form available at http://imstrieste.com/iscriviti-ora/ and pay a fee of €30.00, which covers the membership card for the current academic year and the course registration fee.
School holidays set by the City of Trieste are observed, with possible exceptions to ensure the required number of classes for the selected course.

A maximum of 2 make-ups per year are provided in case of a student’s excused absence. Notice of absence must be given at least the day before the class is to be held. Lessons that cannot be made up due to no notice or late notice will not be refunded. In contrast, classes missed due to teacher absence will always be made up. There are no make-ups for student absences from collective classes unless otherwise specified by the teacher.
The teaching activity of internal auditions/exams takes place in the classroom, during a lecture.
It is possible to use the school’s classrooms for instrument study free of charge, subject to the availability of the facility.
There is provision for the loaner of instruments with the payment of a supplementary monthly contribution.

In case of withdrawal from the courses it is necessary to send written cancellation 20 days prior to class termination. Group course fees are non-refundable in case of withdrawal.
