Figuring Hours per Week

Experience has shown that the average church musician spends many more hours in practice and preparation for choir rehearsals, services and special events than are "visible" to congregations, music committees, and hiring clergy. The Professional Relations Committee of the AGO thus has developed a formula to assist churches and synagogues in determining real time necessary for musicians to perform their assigned duties as well. Please use the following formula in determining Hours per Week:

1. Add up "visible hours" per week for this position. This includes hours in rehearsal and in services as well as committee meetings and other duties required.

2. Multiply "visible hours" by 2.5 or 3 for organist or director, or 4.5 or 5 for a combined organist/director position.
