House Rules

  • Discrimination

    As an institute that aims to promote peace and tolerance through music, the dissemination of ideas or materials with a discriminatory, offensive or political message or ideas or materials that incite nationalism or hatred is strictly prohibited.

  • Education/attendance

    Students will be obliged to follow the program set out by the Mitrovica Rock School. This means that students should attend all agreed classes. If a student is unable to attend a class, this should be reported by the student or his or her parent at least one day in advance. Absentee notices through friends or band members will not be accepted.

  • Working hours

    The Mitrovica Rock School’s working hours are from 16:00 to 21:00 hours, from Monday to Friday. Students may schedule extra-curricular rehearsals with the branch trainees, both during regular working hours and on weekends and on holidays.

    Band rehearsals or any other loud activity should end by 22:00 hours at the latest and may not start before 11:00 hours.

  • Membership fee

    Students are obliged to pay the agreed monthly membership fee. Membership fees should be paid between the 1st and the 10th of every month. Students who are unable to pay the monthly fees are eligible for “scholarships.” Scholarships are small jobs within the Rock School that enable students to earn the money needed to pay the membership fee.

  • Parents/Mitrovica Rock School relations

    Parents and guardians are welcome to visit school at any time and are invited to obtain information by phone or email. We will provide parents and guardians with their child’s schedule of classes upon request. All parents of Rock School students have the right to join the parent boards, to advise the school’s management and teacher team and help with the organization of events. As an organization that makes the overall well-being of our students a priority, we encourage parents to play an active role in our students education.
