Guideline to Choral Conductor/Accompanist Fees

Singing groups should consider paying a fee (honorarium) to their conductor in recognition of the professional contribution by the conductor. The fee reflects the qualifications, experience and achievements of the conductor, together with their commitment to the group, and whether music is their primary source of income.
