Average Hourly Rate for School of Rock Employees

Pros: I love teaching music and sharing my passion and knowledge with other people. I get to do that here.

Cons: I don't really get to teach them what I think is important, most valuable musical education is skipped in the favor of having them play songs. Promising students who actually have a future aren't taught the necessary skills they need for post secondary studies. My boss, who has no experience as a musician or in music education likes to micro manage people and restrict the ability of staff who have spent their entire lives teaching and working in music studios.

Pros: I like the level of autonomy an instructor has within the boundaries of the curriculum.

Cons: Lack of health benefits, lack of paid sick days, low pay. Lack of transparency. Issues with management. I personally feel like feedback is encouraged but never taken seriously into account.
