How is the pay scale for orchestra members?
Depending on the orchestra and the position it varies quite a bit. For instance.. Big orchestras like Boston, New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia etc.. pay between 100,000-120,000 for a section player. (roughly) A principal player can make anywhere from 180,000 to a rumored 600,000 (principal violinist/concertmaster) Usually the concertmaster makes the most, then the principal oboe or timpanist in some cases. There is a 2nd tier of orchestras in major cities and they usually pay between 60,000 - 90,000 per year. After that the orchestra could be in a big city but with a young or struggling orchestra and pay between 20,000 - and 45,000 Its a hugs range in fact, but most players are exceptional if they're being paid to play.. There is always occasions where pay, position, or skill level doesn't make sense but that's the way of the world.

What does the leader of the violin do?
I'm assuming that you mean the concertmaster, or the person in the first chair of the first violin section in an orchestra. The concertmaster is the most violinist in the orchestra and leads the section. He makes decisions about bowings, fingerings, and playing style for the 1st violins. In a concert, the concertmaster emerges just before the concert begins and takes a bow on behalf of the orchestra. He also leads the orchestra in turning and is responsible for playing solo sections in orchestral music.
