I was a self-employed musician for 30 years. (Piano, organ, keyboards, flute.) Teaching, playing various gigs, church stuff, judging piano competitions, etc. But even when the economy was good, my peers were amazed that a single person was managing to pay the bills as a piano teacher. (You take EVERY gig you can find - that's the secret.) Then the economy tanked and enrollment everywhere dropped.
I'm now a librarian. Our organization provides state-wide educational materials to visually-impaired individuals, and works closely with the State School for the Blind here. I still play, and am toying with the idea of teaching 2 nights a week. I would love to play for a theater, if I could find a gig that actually pays it's accompanist . . .
