Does Licensing Have You Stuck in a Bind?
With recent changes in the music industry, proper licensure of copyrighted material is more important now than ever before. The process of obtaining the correct licensing for an arrangement can be a tedious and time consuming process for a director. However, when you use Musicality Arrangements, we can take care of obtaining licensing on your behalf! This service is included in the fee of your commissioned arrangement if requested.
Please note that publishers will ask for a fee to obtain derivative work licenses for arrangements. These fees are set by, and go directly to, the publishers - not Musicality. These fees can be anywhere from $50 to upwards of $400 depending on what songs are being licensed and the stipulations of the license.
For more information about licensing, feel free to contact us and we can assist you with your copyright licensing needs. You can also read about the United States Copyright Law on the National Association for Music Educators' website.
