From your message, I can't determine how relevant & in-depth your part-time experience as Lecturer was to your current job. Therefore if it has no direct connection (e.g. music lecturer) to your current work & you were hired purely because of your masters in music, it is possible that your employer viewed you as an unproven talent and wanted you to start from scratch. They may actually have intention of reviewing your salary after probation.
I beg to differ.

I am quite convinced that it is pure exploitation. I know of teachers (with only a music diploma) who have just started teaching, commanding similar salaries at fraction of the working hours.

I would advise setting out on the private route. No private music school will ever pay more than what you can earn outside unless you have some profit sharing agreement with it.

Oh, on another note, what is the name of the spurious school?
