Professor yes, adjunct no. My dad started teaching English Comp at the local community college and got me pulled in as well doing some computer science and information science classes. I started at the CC and did a few at the local state university. Most schools are not hiring tenure track staff, and use adjuncts and contract assistant professors for the less profitable teaching roles. I would imagine that music has a different dynamic, as lots of emerging professional musicians may be seeking those roles to get benefits, etc.
