iano teachers work in an inherently creative environment. A
natural consequence of that fact is that they will be exposed to, use, and perhaps even
create copyrighted material virtually every day of their teaching lives. The purpose of
this article is to summarize and explicate some of the relevant aspects of copyrights for
the working piano teacher. Note that we will not offer legal opinions in this article
and nothing in this article should be construed as representing in any way the views of a
qualified copyright attorney or cognizant court. We strongly encourage you to consult an
attorney if you have questions which are not adequately answered by information here and
in the links we provide here. Our goal in this short article is to provide an
introduction to copyrights and how they might be encountered or used by a piano teacher.
We will also provide some links to definitive sources of copyright information where those
with a need may gain a more extensive understanding.
