In the interest of disclosure, it would be helpful to publish your salary range. Many musicians come with experience and a prior salary history and would want to know what you possibilities are so they might fit within your parameters or not. As one who just finished a job search, I know it would have saved much heartache to know this information.
Thank you and I wish you a successful search.
