Dear Teachers,
One question we receive a lot this time of year is "Are you going to raise prices on family materials?" Every year we at Musikgarten work hard, as do you, to keep prices competitive. This can be a constant battle because the reality is shipping companies, print suppliers, and instrument manufacturers increase their prices every year, or even worse, go out of business, leaving us no other option than to find a new supplier who will make the same high quality product our teachers expect at a reasonable cost.
This is a challenging task, especially when trying to keep production local to North Carolina and within the USA. Local printers, local and US instrument manufacturers and music replicators are an important part of Musikgarten; something we are committed to providing.
We also believe it is time to make an update to our Family Materials. We have offered the choice of either a digital music or CD packet for several years. But now it is time to combine them. Beginning June 1, 2018 all of our Family Materials will include both a CD and a digital code so that your families can enjoy the music whether they are at home, in the car or on the go and on any device.
Here is the NEWS:
No increase in shipping
We are happy to announce that for the fifth year in a row, we are not raising our shipping prices.
Increase in Family Materials
Family Materials will go up $2.00 from the License CD packet price for everything except
Music Makers: At Home, Music Makers: Around the World
, and
Music Makers: At the Keyboard
; these materials will remain at $51 for the Combination sets for Home and World, and $51 for the Children Books for Keyboard. All Family Materials will include both a CD and digital download of the music. Licensee discounts will still apply.
Teacher Materials
Most core teacher materials will remain the same price. There will be a slight price increase on teacher materials that include recordings to accommodate the digital download.
Only slight increases on instruments
We will only increase prices on instruments that have incurred a cost increase.
The new price structure will go into effect on June 1, 2018. A new price list will be sent the beginning of May. Contact Musikgarten for pricing questions.
License Fee
The License fee for July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019 will increase to $105. Umbrella Licensees will remain at $20 per teacher. We continue to add and update the material on the Teacher Extranet, plus we will continue to expand our
