1. Beginner violin student average fee monthly is RM100.
2. The music school will give around 60% to the teacher, which is RM60.
3. Every class is 30 minutes.
4. Teaching full day, from 10AM to 5PM (estimate) which is 7 hours per day.
5. 7 hours can slot in 14 students.
6. Every monthly, you will be paid that for teaching 14 students.
7. 14 students times RM60 is RM840.
8. What if the teacher are working 5 days in a week?
9. 14 students times 5 days in a week is 70 students grand total
10. 70 students times RM60 is RM4200.

Think again, that is the amount you have earn for just teaching beginners. You can still enjoy 2 days rest from it.

What if teaching grade 5 students? Grade 5 average monthly fee is RM160.

So RM160 times 70 students is RM11, 200.

What about grade 8? Diploma????

Malaysians likes to talk about the amount of earning money, so this is theory. Everyone in this thread post is just does not make enough sense for me as I am really serious in music and I have experienced it.

Each Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra musician earns about RM1, 000 in one performance. I could not explain a lot on this, there is a forumer named "little ice" knows more than me.

Other than that, rock musician earns about RM1, 000 too for a performance. It does not matter if it is a band or solo. I have done a guitar performance for a company and I get paid RM400 for just 3 songs performance. You can do the math for the rest.

Speaking of performance, you have to be very good before you really go out and work. Make sure you play something that the audience likes, but not being selfish playing licks.
