Will you have to license this stuff or do schools not have to?

Fair Use laws in the States say that so long as they don't record it, don't charge to get into the performance, and destroy the copies once the performance is over, They should be in the clear. But, that only counts if the piece is unpublished. If it becomes published at any time before the performance, they have to purchase those published copies.

In my experience, the world of music learning is a world of lots of necessary document copying and document keeping that some sensible to that would do better keeping their noses out of it.

Exactly. I don't know how many times I've rewritten things for the kids.

BB. You've been here since 2010?

I've been on this forum for as long as I can remember. But 2010 sounds about right, yes.

Ditto. I've rewritten parts - hell for marching band I've re-written whole pieces. I've also never given out originals to students, especially percussionists, since I'll probably never seen them again. Always photocopies, which is ok, so long as they're being used for educational purposes - and you destroy them when you're done.

The band directors in mu district never give out originals but many times thy only have to copy single page parts. Choral music you read the whole score so copying is tedious and a waste

No! You store them and collect them in absurd amounts! You never know when they can be useful again!

At least that's what we all did :lol:

Looks like how I learned music theory in college. Music and a very stiff drink...

It was very nice to get out. I had just started my martini. I should take an after photo of my mark ups for the song. ;-)

When I sit and drink, studying scores, it's absolutely sublime. Music playing through my head and finite picking apart of individual nuances.

Here's a great piece by a young Slovenian composer I've performed with several youth choirs already, the last performance being only yesterday!

I like this. Could you tell me a bit more about it? Its not from a film right?

Sorry, forgot to reply! No, it ain't from a film, it's an original composition, I think it was written for Slovenian youth choirs' festival (that's why there are so many singers - those are best Slovenian youth choirs combined). If you ever decide to maybe try it, I can give you the composer's direct contact, I know him well and he's a really nice guy, I'm sure he'd be thrilled to have one of his pieces performed in the US. The lyrics are in Slovenian however but maybe they could be translated (Sonce in reka means The Sun and the River).

Human aggression is instinctual. Humans have not evolved any ritualised aggression-inhibiting mechanisms to ensure the survival of the species. For this reason man is considered a very dangerous animal.
