Free Music Therapist Service Agreement

Without a signed paper, you're just a roadie hauling five grand in gear to a gig that might flake at the door. One broken guitar or a skipped payment will gut your profit margin and leave you bleeding cash in a courtroom.

Pro Contractor Tip

Include a rock-solid 'Cancellation Policy' clause that guarantees you get paid in full if the client ghosts you with less than 24 hours' notice.

Why use a written agreement?

Handshake deals are risky. As a Music Therapist, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the client wants me to stay late or do a 'performance' instead of therapy?

Scope creep kills businesses. Your contract needs a 'Scope of Services' section; if they want a concert, you tell them it's an extra charge outside the agreement or you pack up when the clock hits the limit.

How do I stop chasing people for money three weeks after the session?

You don't work on credit. Set up a 'Payment Terms' clause that requires a card on file or upfront payment so you spend your time working, not acting like a debt collector.

A facility says they aren't responsible for my damaged instruments—now what?

If it isn't in writing, you're on the hook for the bill. Use a 'Liability and Property' clause to clearly state who pays when a patient or staff member smashes your equipment.
