Responsible Sharing of Information
Copyright Issues in the Music Classroom
Rules to share by:
1) You CAN copy music for a trial run, however, it must be LESS than 10% of the full piece.
2) You CANNOT show an ENTIRE musical film in a class without paying royalties. It is considered a PUBLIC PERFORMANCE even when it is recorded.
3) Teachers CAN edit or simplify a piece for their ensemble AS LONG AS the character of the work is not distorted and the lyrics are NOT changed.
4) School groups can perform a NON dramatic work without paying royalties AS LONG AS NO money is exchanged.
