[HANASHIR:6891] Re: Songleader salaries

[Rick Lupert <Rick...>]

I don't walk out of the door for less than TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.

(consequently, I'm home a lot)


But seriously, Songleaders at synagogues make anywhere from $20 - $50 
an hour depending on your experience, how many hours you're working, 
the budget of the temple to pay a song leader, etc...I'd suspect the 
average is somewhere in the middle to higher end of that range.

You can also expect to be paid a separate flat rate for things like 
Weekend camp retreats, and again, for these, I wouldn't take any less 
than TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!...sorry...got a little excited there....
