Economics!

Most CGists who teach college could make more money in other fields
with much less effort. If you are teaching for the money you have not
learned the basics of econ 101.

Why do most music grads think that just because they have a degree
in music they are qualified to teach?

It's not about making money for the sake of making money. It's about
making money to support one's artistic calling.

And it's about bringing music to many who will never have careers in
music but nonetheless love it. It's also about creating an
appreciation, and perhaps a love, for music in people for whom none
exists before their contact with a music teacher. It's not difficult to
wax evangelical about these things - all people, IMHO, ought to have
something of a musical education, whether they plan to do anything with
it in terms of their livelihood or not. It is a "core" subject, IMHO,
part of anyone's basic education. This is why things like the fact that
every third grader learns to play the recorder in our local schools
pleases me to no end! They also all play an instrument in fifth grade
in the band or orchestra, another very good thing!

As to qualified to teach, that's a can of worms. For a starter, those
who can teach well privately and those who can teach well in a classroom
setting are often not the same people. I also don't believe that
_anyone_ is a good teacher, either privately or in a classroom, until
they've had a few years of experience. I consider my own efforts in
both areas at the start to have been pretty awful, and I'm confident
that I've learned and gotten better from my experience and will, I hope,
continue to learn and continue to get better as I continue to teach.
