Price-for-Life Guarantee
One of the unique benefits of membership in The Dennis Frayne Association for Music Education is our Price-for-Life Guarantee.
We believe long-term members should be rewarded for their commitment, not penalized with higher membership rates simply because they have remained loyal. As the Association grows, membership rates may increase from time to time to reflect inflation, expanding member benefits, and the continuing development of new programs and services. Those changes apply only to new members.
When you become a member, your membership rates are locked in at the rates in effect on the day you join. As long as your membership remains continuously active, you may renew using either the annual or five-year membership option at those original rates, even if membership prices increase in the future.
Our goal is simple: when you join the Association, you can do so with confidence, knowing that your membership rates will remain stable for as long as you choose to remain an active member.
How It Works
Our Price-for-Life Guarantee applies to every member of The Dennis Frayne Association for Music Education.
If you join today at today's membership rates, those rates become your membership rates for life, provided your membership remains continuously active. You may renew using either the annual membership option or the five-year membership option, regardless of which option you selected when you first joined. Your original membership rates remain available to you for as long as your membership continues without interruption.
Any future increases in membership rates apply only to new members joining the Association.
Examples
Example 1
You become a member when the membership rates are $199 annually and $899 for five years.
Ten years later, the published membership rates have increased to $299 annually and $1,395 for five years.
Because your membership has remained continuously active, you may continue renewing at $199 annually or $899 every five years, whichever option best fits your needs.
Example 2
You initially choose the annual membership.
Several years later, you decide that the five-year membership better fits your plans.
You may switch to the five-year option while continuing to pay the five-year membership rate that was in effect when you first became a member.
The same flexibility applies if you later decide to return to annual renewals.
Example 3
You allow your membership to lapse.
Several years later, you decide to rejoin the Association.
Because your previous membership was no longer active, you would rejoin at the membership rates in effect at that time. Those new rates would then become your Price-for-Life membership rates, provided your membership again remains continuously active.

Why We Offer the Price-for-Life Guarantee
The Dennis Frayne Association for Music Education was created to build a professional community that serves music teachers throughout their careers. We hope our members will continue learning, growing, contributing, and encouraging one another for many years to come.
Our Price-for-Life Guarantee reflects that long-term commitment. Rather than increasing membership rates for teachers who have remained faithful to the Association, we believe loyalty should be recognized and rewarded. As membership grows and the Association continues to expand its programs, publications, coaching, certification, and educational resources, existing members continue enjoying the membership rates they earned when they joined.
Like every part of the Dennis Frayne Association, our Price-for-Life Guarantee is intended to encourage long-term relationships, strengthen our professional community, and make it easier for music teachers to invest confidently in a lifetime of learning, service, and musical growth.
