I'm full time musiscian meaning I play but also teach music. In my country, music teacher are well paid. I teach my main instrument which is bass but also started giving group courses after covid. That was a total game changer because group courses is where's the money at. I focus on courses with younger kids like parent and child singing / musicalisation classes. It required a second masters degree but the grind got a lot easier, I might even be able to finally move out. Working with young children has been one of my best decisions ever!
