How much is the income of musicians in Jakarta? – Chaka Music Production

Music teacher

Fee range of 200,000. – 1,000,000./ 60 minutes

Say one vocal teacher with a rate of Rp.300,000./visit.

4 x Rp.300,000. = 1,200,000. / student / month

What I know is that there are teachers who can be 20 students a week, aka 20 hours of teaching a week. So from Monday to Friday every day there are 4-5 students.

let’s say

1,200,000 x 20 = Rp.24,000,000.

Still not enough ???

Session player

There are some musicians whose work accompanying famous artists, used to be often mentioned using the term “musician” who can play in several bands with different genres.

Session Player also usually fills the recordings on the artist song project he accompanied.

The condition is to be a session player later we will discuss in another article, for now just discuss the salary first.

Fee Rp. 2,000,000. – 5,000,000.

Imagine for example being a session player for singers whose jobs for a week can be 3 times sometimes more up to 5x.

Rp. 2,000,000. x 5 = Rp.10,000,000. / Sunday

a month? 40,000,000.

So no wonder many musicians want to be a famous artist. so that it can be paid more expensive, but before that everything is obtained, it must be a musician skills Formerly.

Orchestra musicians

This musician variety is somewhat different, yes, not all session players can enter this area because the requirements can read musical notes and are trained in classical music techniques.

Cost of Rp. 2,500,000 – Rp. 5,000,000/ concert

Can you imagine if there could be a musical performance in a week, there were 2 shows per day.

2,500,000. x 2 = Rp. 5,000,000/ day

7 x Rp.5,000,000. = 35,000,000.

Arranger Music

Rp. 5,000,000. – Rp. 20,000,000

This term is now more popular as Music producer Though more to Arranger, only the difference because it makes music arrangements, but recording itself, mixing yourself until it becomes a client’s order.

Let’s just say a week can do 3 songs

3 x Rp.5,000,000. = Rp. 15,000,000. / Sunday

4 x Rp. 15,000,000. = Rp. 60,000,000. / month

The above calculation is based on the latest survey 2022-2023, so it is still quite valid for the next 5 years if there is no recession or inflation.

Please contemplate, still worthy of not being used as an ideal.
