The ISM’s annual survey of teaching, examining and accompanying rates: Our survey results 2021

The ISM's annual survey of teaching, examining and accompanying rates was open from November 2020 to January 2021. The results indicate what other music professionals charge for their services in your area.

Last year, due to the national lockdowns to curb the spread of COVID-19, many music professionals moved to working online. To take this into account, for the first time, the survey looked at both face-to-face and online rates.

The survey was open to members and non-members, and asked participants about the following areas:

  • experience and qualification
  • private teaching
  • part-time teaching, employed
  • part-time teaching, self-employed
  • accompanying and examining
