What music therapists make
Median
$77,930
Bottom tenth
$46,540
Top tenth
$152,530
The published median is $77,930 a year, with the bottom tenth earning $46,540 or less and the top tenth $152,530 or more. Read that top number carefully: the federal survey does not count music therapists on their own, it files them inside a residual group called Therapists, All Other, which also holds other kinds of therapist. There is no official figure for music therapists alone.
