Terms & Conditions

 

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Our books were written for the use of Leaving Cert and Junior Cycle music students in the Republic of Ireland. They are geared towards classroom work and are for the students. They are not resource material for teachers. Instead, teachers whose students have purchased the books, receive free resources to supplement and enhance the student material. This is only provided when books are on a school booklist. Orders for books not on a school booklist may need to be refunded (minus the online charge of €5). All of our books are under strict copyright conditions and may only be used when students have their own copies. Exercise books are single-use books and may not be rented, photocopied or reused. Our New Notes Textbook Package contains exercises and each booklet should be considered a single-use book. By proceeding with a purchase, it is understood that you accept these conditions. 

AUDIO ACCESS

CDs no longer accompany our LC books. The user will automatically be given audio access through our phone audio app. The audio will last for 1 or 2 academic years, depending on course and purchase date, and can be updated if necessary (by subscription). Full access to all audio tracks, solutions and supports is only available when books are on a school booklist. Any purchase of our books will assume acceptance of this regulation by the purchaser.

Students MUST register with a school email. Personal emails are cancelled. Codes, if added to a registration that is cancelled, will then be lost. Replacement codes will be charged for, where the fault is the user’s.

Midland Examining Board Correcting Service: Terms and Conditions
  • The MEB creates JC and LC style exam questions which teachers may peruse at their leisure in advance of their JC and LC mock exams. Teachers of LC students choose the exam questions for their own classes, from a range of options.
  • The MEB suggests solutions and a marking scheme for these questions. Their intention is to make all aspects of the marking process transparent.
  • If a teacher avails of the MEB Correcting Service, each JC and LC mock exam paper is marked and graded by an experienced examiner, whose role is to apply the suggested MEB solutions and to offer constructive feedback to the students.
  • The MEB is not the SEC, so there is no marking conference to discuss the questions and wide range of potential solutions. Due to time constraints and quick turnarounds, the final grading decisions are left entirely to the individual markers, who apply their interpretation of the solutions and justify their decisions in writing.
  • The MEB marking and grading process depends on these experienced examiners. Teachers are invited to amend their students’ marks if they feel that an examiner’s suggested teaching or learning approach is not fully in line with the teachers’ own expectations.
  • When ordering, we ask you to please place the order at least 3 weeks prior to exams. This is essential, especially where customisation is involved. We endeavour to have all orders dispatched in plenty of time for your exams.
