Fees
Methods courses require no fee. Loans for personal use (e.g., gigs, auditions, summer rental, secondary use, or a loaner instrument when an instrument is being repaired) will require a letter from a faculty member and will be subject to a fee.
Use of certain instruments in the School’s ensembles (as specifically prescribed by the directors of those ensembles), or in the student’s private lesson program (as specifically prescribed by his/her teacher) will be without charge.
Liability
The Eastman School of Music requires a signed loan contract for all loans. Regardless of fees paid, due, or waived, the School will hold the borrower and co-borrower of any instruments and equipment fully liable for loss or damage of such property.
Overdue Loans
A schedule of late-return charges is used by the School. Failure to return an instrument will be cause for the School to take other administrative action, as appropriate.
