Week 4: Readings

Overview 

This week you will learn about the Schools Music Licence and the TAFE Music Licence.  

All Government and most Catholic and Independent schools are covered by the Schools Music Licence. If a school is unsure whether they are covered by the licences, they can contact their local copyright manager.

All TAFEs (excluding Victoria) can rely on the TAFE Music Licence.

Like the statutory licences, schools and TAFEs pay significant fees for these licences and there are limitations on how they can use music. Therefore, it is important as teachers that you know what is, and what is not permitted under these licences.
