I'm interested in playing a cd of mixed music during intervals on a training course. I understand there may be a law against doing this. Can anyone advise me please?

Hi
At a recent accelerated learning course, we were given the following websites which provided further information on licences required. You may find them useful:

Good luck!
Copyright and music
You are right about taking care of this aspect. For almost all commercially produced music, including radio and CD/tapes playing in public places is against copyright legislation.
You can obtain a licence to use a piece of music in a commercial training course or even permission( if you are lucky).
We needed music for some work we were doing with a client and ended up after checking the licence costs finding it cheaper to commission our own piece of music for the presentation. For a 3 minute piece to accompany an employment law training CD ROM the cost was under £150 and the soundbyte is copyrighted to us so we can use it as many times as we require.

Music in Training
I would recommend:
‘Choosing and Using Music in Training: A Guide for Trainers and Teachers’ by Liz Brant and Tony Harvey (Gower). This gives details of types of music to use in different circumstances, all about getting permission, and includes a CD with over an hour of music.
