Why do APRA AMCOS members need insurance?
As a member of APRA AMCOS, music is your passion, either as a music creator or music lover.
If you’re a performer, as much as your work brightens up people’s days, sometimes one small incident such as an audience member tripping on a piece of your equipment could be enough to darken your days in a very significant way. That’s why it is important for performers to hold appropriate insurance to help make sure you’re not faced with unexpected financial strain if you experience an unfortunate incident.
For music or singing teachers, having appropriate insurance that is in tune with your needs is also important to help make sure you can keep playing throughout certain difficult situations. Imagine this: you are providing your regular lesson to a student when suddenly the seat they are sitting on breaks and results in the student falling backwards hitting their head on the floor and breaking their instrument. While this is bad enough, your worries would probably treble if the family held you responsible and took legal action for financial compensation.
