The Clevelaand Institute of Music has published a pay scale for a head of the piano department which is lower than a janitor would earn at Juilliard.

Read, and be amazed at the low levels of intelligence and compensation:

CIM, one of the top conservatories in the US, has a full-time piano faculty opening. 2/3 CIM faculty piano teaching, 1/3 CIM Academy teaching, plus acting as the Director of Academy Piano Studies. Requires a DMA and minimum 7 years teaching experience. They’re also one of the few that post the salary range.
$60,000-$75,000
To put that in perspective, that is:
–$28.85-$36.06/hr
–the same as a current opening in Cleveland for a Technical Sales Rep for Rhodes Wolfe, no exp needed, only HS diploma required ($65k-70k)
–less than a Direct Appointment Setter for Andersen Windows, no experience and GED required ($65k-100k)
–far less than a Powersports Sales Associate, no experience required, not even GED ($77k-97.5k)
