UK Piano Page Piano Forum

Hello I'd love to start teaching piano privately but im not sure wether i need any sort of insurance. Also where are the best places to advertise?. I hope you can help as im itching to get started. thanks jane.

Your home insurance may cover you but these days public liability insurance is a must

As to advertising the teachers on the UK Piano page seem to get lots of work

Barrie,

Cheaper advertising can be got by advertising in shop windows, school noticeboards - if they give you permission - and parish magazines are VERY good, because they have a wide readership but don't charge stupid money. Also if you have/know kids who are putting on a show at school, you could ask to advertise in the programme, ditto church concerts.
Word of mouth will do the work for you if you're good!

does anyone know who the best liability insures are as i dont want to be paying over the odds.

Direct line would be a place to start we use a company called

Anthony Jones Ltd
Albany House
31 London Road
Bromley
Kent BR1 1DG
08453 444477

You should only need 2 mill for your home unless you are going into schools then you should have 5 mill depending on the LEA

Barrie,

Hi, how much (approx) does Public Liability Insurance cost per year?

Thanks
