Should musicians teach for extra money?

As a musician, I have been told to "learn to teach, just in case."  Do musicians make most of their living from teaching others how to play music? 

One Jazz Sideman- Bandleader makes 70 percent of his living from teaching.  But yet he calls himself a Sideman-Bandleader. Do musicains teach just to earn enough money for a living when thier true passion is in other areas of music?

Should musicians teach just for money when they have a passion for other areas of music?

  1. If I was a musician, I think I would teach. This is because I've heard that teaching someone makes you understand what you are teaching better. I'd also like to get more people interested in what I am passionate about.
