Music copywriting and the problems of music education: overcoming prohibitions and the use of music in teaching

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This study aims to discuss the fundamentals of music copywriting in music education and identify pathways for integrating musical compositions into the learning process without infringing copyright and prohibiting the use of specific music pieces. To achieve this goal, the authors used methods of analysis to identify the available resources in the field of music copywriting and education. The study reports that 35% of students give their preference to classical music, 32% want to use traditional Chinese music, and only 22% consider it possible to play modern melodies. To avoid copyright infringement in the presentation of theory that is available on the Internet, authors should document their original approach to learning and publish the data in books and monographs. The authors found that the use of classical music in the classroom was not an infringement of copyright because the statute of limitations had expired. The findings suggested that the students whose similarity scores ranged from 0 to 24% in the music compositions got better knowledge, with the coefficient of effectiveness of 2.5.
