Complete List of Private Lessons and Instructors |  Registration Form

NISOM students must register each school year and summer. Registration is first come, first served. The full trimester tuition and registration fee (when applicable) must be paid in order to reserve your lesson time(s). See Tuition Information for amounts. By registering at NISOM, you are agreeing to abide by the policies and adhere to the payment dates. 

Important: When you or your child register for private lessons at NISOM, it is assumed you will continue through the end of the academic year. You are registering not only for the current trimester but also for any subsequent trimesters in the 2011-12 school year. Private students do not have to register each trimester to keep their lesson times. Unless you notify us of a withdrawal, you will be automatically enrolled in and billed for the remainder of the academic year. If you need to change your lesson time during the year, you are welcome to switch to any opening the instructor has available.

2011-2012 Registration

The school year began on August 22, but students may continue register to begin at any time. Tuition will be prorated.

Registration Procedures

Returning students: Please review our policies, as there have been changes under Recitals and Playathon. Returning students do not need to complete a new registration form each year. Be sure to notify us of any changes of address, phone number, or email.  If you have not submitted a registration form since 2007, you may be asked to do so. Download a pdf version from the top of the page, or pick one up at our office.

New students:  To come prepared to registration, be sure to review our policies and tuition information, in addition to downloading and completing a registration form. You can also review faculty biographies and our frequently asked questions.

Automatic Withdrawals:  If you wish to utilize automatic monthly withdrawals, download and complete the Authorization Agreement for ACH Debits form. You will also need to submit a voided check or deposit slip in addition to the tuition deposit and registration fee. If you have used this payment method in the past and your account information has not changed, you do not need to fill out a new form, but you will need to register in person to sign and date your form on file to re-authorize these payments. See tuition information for more details about ACH. No automatic withdrawals for summer session.

Registration by mail:  If you can not register in person, mail the completed forms and tuition payment to 2728 Asbury Road, Suite 200, Dubuque, IA 52001.  Be sure to include a note with your desired teacher and lesson time, as well as alternates if your first choice is not available. You may call our office for up-to-date scheduling information. Your registration will be processed as early as possible after registration has opened to you. 

Registration by phone:  Registrations will be accepted over the phone for returning students if tuition is paid using Visa or Mastercard. A 5% processing fee will be added to all credit card payments. New students may be able to register over the phone, but a completed registration form must be received within 10 days to continue to reserve the lesson time. We strongly encourage all new students register in person or via mail. 

NOTE:  Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Preference will be given to in person registrations. If you are registering over the phone during peak registration times, you may be asked to call back at a later time.
