students are allowed to miss up to one half-day of school per week to
attend music lessons.

"When attendance is excused
(2) A person is excused from attendance at school if,
...
(e) the person is absent from school for the purpose of receiving
instruction in music and the period of absence does not exceed one-half
day in any week..."
