The MU offers six template contracts for use in relation to self-employed music teaching and education work. Provided with accompanying guidance, the contracts cover teaching privately in homes, in studios, in schools, online and face-to-face. They are written to be compliant with the latest updates to consumer law.
A written contract is an essential form of protection for your teaching practice as it sets out the terms and conditions for your relationship with your pupils. It also professionalises your work and ensures that you are covered for all eventualities.
Our contracts are generic to encompass as many situations as possible, but we are aware that many members use their own contracts with their pupils because they want to add their own terms and conditions. If you want your contract checked to make sure it is compliant with the new legislation, then please contact education@theMU.org for advice.
