The copyright module was a great refresher for me as a music teacher.  We often talk in conferences about what is legal and what is not in regards to making copies in our classrooms.  As music is very expensive, it is scary to send originals home with students to practice on.  Often, students can take home a copy of their music to practice with and then return at the end of the unit so that the copy can be recycled.  Otherwise if a piece of music goes missing, the entire song is not able to be used unless you want to purchase a new one for $80 or more.  I hope that many music educators in Iowa (and other states!!) review the copyright  laws frequently so that we are properly using the musical resources available to us in our classrooms.
