The rights, in plain language
The underlying composition is in the public domain. Our engraving is our own edition — free to read, print, and perform, with no royalty and no per-performance fee. We host the composition, never a recording.
The composition is in the public domain. This is our own engraved edition of the public-domain score — not a copy of anyone else’s edition, and never a recording (a recording is a separate copyright we do not touch).
Print as many copies as you need for your ensemble, and perform it at school events — performing is free, no royalty, no per-performance fee. When a show is ticketed, tickets are sold through the School Box Office network and we keep a small share; that is what keeps the scores free (a free concert costs nothing). Keep the composer and Free School Music credit on your program. For the full terms, see Licensing & rights.
