What is the typical yearly wage for a high school music teacher?

Answer 1

It would depend on:
what state you were teaching in ?
what district you were teaching in?
How many years of experience you have?
If you have a bachelors, masters, or other degrees?
Are you National Board Certified?

All of that will come into consideration when trying to determine your salary.

Answer 2

Differs from school district to school district but I do know that as far as teaching goes Band/music public school teachers are put under a tremendous about of pressure. My husband's father was a school band director for years and basically the whole family had to be involved. Football games, competitions, parades, concerts plus the teaching itself. Parents and administration expect a lot but don't always seem very appreciative. So it seems to me that it really must be a labor of love and can be very rewarding but not necessarily in a monetary way. Good luck!

Answer 3

Definitely not enough. Most (good) high school music teachers spend way too much time after school, during breaks (summer band camp), dealing with talentless students, etc. yet they are lucky to receive barely over $30,000. I was going to major in Music Education, but decided to make it my minor....

Answer 4

It will depend on where you plan on teaching. Because it will most likely be a public school, you can contact them and ask. All salaries for public workers are considered public information.

Answer 5

Teachers, unfortunately, are underpaid. I would guess about 30-50 thousand a year depending on where you live.

Answer 6

Depends on the state you are teaching in but usually anything I would think from 25,000-30,000!

Answer 7

would depend on the school district budget... 27k maybe
