A study was made to present the opinions of educational music publishers regarding music educators making single copies of individual parts of purchased arrangements. Some 50 educational music publishers together with 50 band directors and 50 choral directors were surveyed by questionnaire. Based on the data collected, the analyses made, and the findings reported, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) the law is quite clear, there is no reason for any music educator to make any unauthorized copies of any parts of any music; (2) the results confirm that music educators do make unauthorized copies, and that music publishers are aware of this practice, but to date have taken no legal recourse toward remedying this situation; (3) variations in the standard instrumentations used by music publishers are sufficient to dilute the value of ordering standard instrumentation; and (4) music publishers and educators are in basic disagreement in their opinions concerning the seriousness of making copies of parts. The study recommends that: (1) music educators cease making unauthorized copies of music; and (2) publishers should provide a clear definition of what parts are included with a publisher's arrangements when they are advertised. Further recommendations are included. (WCM)
