Welcome to School Music License!

by | Aug 16, 2023

 

Welcome to School Music License! We are thrilled you are here. 

Launching in time for the 2023-2024 academic year, School Music License is a revolutionary new service that helps K-12 schools secure copyright permissions more easily, so they can post concert videos and live performances online. Our dream is to help you and your students do more with the music you love and attract more students to participate in the great arts and athletic programs taking place in our schools. Let Your Students SHINE Online!

Our service enables schools to showcase their programs by granting permission to record and stream a wide range of school events that include music. At the same time, we affordably ensure that composers, songwriters, lyricists, and publishers receive the appropriate royalties for their work. It’s a win win! 

With School Music License, LLC, you are joining a community of dedicated music teachers, music directors, school administrators, dance choreographers, coaches, and volunteers who care deeply about supporting their students and the artists whose music they enjoy.
