There is a fundamental difference here though. Being a teacher is a form of employment, where at least theoretically there is a match of supply vs demand. Music in this context is more like a business, where there may not be demand. You don't get to create a random business and expect a livable wage from it. Music as a whole may be valued, but music from any particular band may not be.
