Music Careers in Dollars and Cents updated

Music Careers in Dollars and Cents is a study by the  Berklee College of Music containing a comprehensive directory of salary ranges for U.S. music positions (including performance, business, audio technology, education, and music therapy). The first edition was released in 2010 and now it has been updated and it can be downloaded for free (in pdf format) at this address: berklee.edu/studentlife/cdc.html

The study shows salaries trending upwards for certain positions (Orchestral Musician, Assistant Professor, Public Relations Specialist), while others are being cut down (Commercial Jingle Composer, A&R Representative, Music Education Administrator). Some differences from the previous edition are due to a more in-depth data collection, but market factors (such as the global economic crisis) affected the whole picture. "It’s important to remember, despite our best research efforts, all salaries represent only ranges, dependent on numerous variables", commented Peter Spellman, Director of Berklee’s Career Development Center.
