Pay
Conductors usually work on an individual fee basis, so there are no established rates of pay for this kind of work, and earnings vary greatly. Most conductors in New Zealand are self-employed and have other means of income such as playing in an orchestra, singing, teaching or composing music.
According to the 2006 Census, conductors earned an average of $35,300 a year and worked an average of 39 hours per week. This includes full and part-time workers.
