Why do Music and Singing Teachers need insurance?

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.  

If you’re a music or singing teacher, having appropriate insurance that is in tune with your needs is therefore important to help make sure you can keep playing throughout certain difficult situations.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some commonly asked questions by Music & Singing Teachers.
Why do music and singing teachers need Personal Accident insurance?
Teaching music might be your passion, but you’re probably in this field to make a living as well. If you suffer an injury from an accident, and can suddenly no longer teach students, your recovery should be your priority, not your bills and groceries. Personal accident insurance includes cover for your loss of income if you suffer an injury or sickness resulting in a permanent or temporary total or partial disablement from an insured event.1

 

If I teach students at my home, will my home insurance cover Public Liability if they’re injured in my home?
The Public Liability under home insurance policies sometimes exclude incidents that occur while you’re operating a business. You should check with your home insurance provider to clarify the coverage offered here. You may still need to take out additional Public Liability Insurance for your business, such as the Music & Signing Teachers Liability Insurance through Aon. 

If I conduct lessons at a student’s home, am I covered?
The coverage under Public Liability, Breach of Professional Duty and the Personal Accident Insurance extends to you teaching at your students’ homes. However, if you’re taking your equipment to your students’ homes, optional cover is available for these  if they’re damaged or stolen. This feature is not automatically included, and you should contact your broker to discuss what cover is available.
