Why Should Teachers Insure Musical Instruments and Equipment?
Outside of education, your instruments and equipment may be your biggest career investment. If something goes wrong, the cost of repair and replacement can get expensive, fast.
Let’s say you teach people how to play guitars. While you’re driving to the school you teach at, you get in a car accident. You’re fine, but the wreckage destroyed some of your guitars. Music instrument insurance can pay repair or replacement fees, giving you peace of mind knowing you’re not paying for these damages by yourself.
