Music Education

Today neither a degree nor skilled work is necessarily reflected in salary, most notably in the field of education. Music is particularly notorious for its lack of financial fulfillment due to its neglect by the school board along with other art programs. Rather than studying music education due to their interest in it, many professional musicians are forced into a career of teaching in order to pay the bills that performances could not. Living purely off of music performance would be nearly impossible due to competition and lack of consistency. However, many musicians of the orchestral or educational field enjoy either teaching or playing enough that they continue regardless of economic drought. My site studies the psyche of various musicians based on income as well as music instructors at several levels of education and income.
