Classical Music for Your Kids ( ... Each 45 Minutes Long; Free!)

 

What am I allowed to do, what am I not allowed to do? And what are you allowed to do, and what are you not allowed to do? To this after the introduction. The following use of music is considered: You have connected your loudspeaker to your laptop at the beginning of the lesson. Alternatively, to your tablet or your smartphone. Then you call up your playlist on YouTube and start playing your collection. But, there is a problem: the ads. However ... there are more options! Almost at the bottom of this page!

 

 

I myself have produced 33 Classical Music titles by Johann Sebastian Bach. According to his original sheet music. I myself am not affiliated with the German GEMA and Bach is now more than 270 years dead. In order to publish his work, that is to play, he would actually have to have died only 70 years ago. This means that 270 years is "way enough". I can, and I may play what is no longer subject to copyright protection. For example, Beethoven's, Mozart's and Handel's works. But I am not allowed to use what for example Amy Winehouse has composed, arranged or performed with her musicians. Because she was affiliated with (... the English counterpart) of the GEMA, the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR MUSICAL EDUCATION, and had only recently passed away.  And that means in everyday life? That I am not allowed to collect practically all Classical Works played by musicians that still live or are not dead for 70+ years ... and pass them on to you. Unless a child performs them, a music teacher or a musician who is not a member of GEMA or their sister organizations all over the planet.

 

What you are allowed to do? In an agreement with the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR MUSICAL EDUCATION, you are allowed to use so-called protected by copyright music in class. Performed by all artists. But: You are only allowed to use it for that. Not for a party, not for another event, not for the kids later, not to give it to colleagues. In a nutshell: You are really not allowed to do anything with them except to use them in your ( ! ) lessons. One exception: You can, of course, save the playlist for your kid for next year. And for the year after the next. And for the year after that. This all is true for the royalty procedure in Germany, which is – like many rules – probably similar in many more industrial countries. As the German GEMA is considered the strictest association in that field and really powerful, I assume, that in the other mentioned countries they have the same rules and the handling is not that strict. However, I am not allowed to give legal advice, please inform yourself to meet the regulations with that in your country. Here you can get all the knowledge you need in five minutes (... the rules of the American NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR MUSICAL EDUCATION). 

Important for Teachers to Know

 

Please then be sure to read the instructions in document 14 of the Teaching Material Classical Music if you have concerns about giving data to Google or if you want to work with your kids with much less time involved than creating a playlist.

6.    My Alternative Suggestion: Feel Free to Pick Your Own Hits, Too!

 

Here you can get to the page with the 300 Popular Classical Works. With only one click.


 

7.      Your    Playlist ... There Are Several Options

 

First of all again my hint that you have the "circumstance" and the trouble to create or have created a playlist only once for the years to come (... but for this you have to - except via YouTube - keep the subscription active ... and also pay). Measured against that, it's not really much effort. The best way to do this is to use my Classical Music Top 100 and choose your favorite pieces with the green square at the beginning of the line. In order to use a free playlist via YouTube, you have to take care yourself to mute the occasional advertisement that now and then – unfortunately unpredictable and also not reliable – is put in front of the pieces by YouTube. One of your students can also take over the compilation of the pieces you have defined, as well as the playing in class ... as a DJ or DJane, so to speak.

 

Except for YouTube, you can also compile your playlist via Amazon Prime (... we don't get any commission there), Spotify or other streaming services. If you use one of the services anyway, it's free of charge, of course. Also, you can think about asking a student whose parents subscribe to one of these services anyway to compile the works of your choice. You can also consider whether you can use other services in addition with a subscription, just as we do in Germany: then, for example, also the elimination of most shipping costs for Amazon orders. With a subscription just for the purpose of enriching your "Teaching Material Classical Music", it's also worth bearing in mind that you'll then also have to come up with the monthly fees next year and the year after that ... or your playlist – or playlists – will be lost forever. Options 8 and 9 offer an alternative.

 

 


 

8.    Buy Your Project Music Like Records Back Then (... Records with Two   Songs)

 

Sure, that works too, and for internet-savvy teachers, this tip here is really redundant: First, determine which 20 to 30 Classical Music hits excite you, and you think are suitable for use. Then switch to Amazon Music Downloads and buy your works as MP3 downloads. To do this, however, you should critically test the offer beforehand, because there are of course dozens of differences in interpretation and quality. The advantage afterwards: You download the piece "forever", that is, you buy it. This makes then a lot of sense if you like our Teaching Material Classical Music and want to use it every year with the next class.

 

 


 

9.    There Also Is the "Good, Old" CD or Also Exciting CD Collections

 

It is probably the most "analog" way of presenting music to your classroom lessons: There are still hundreds of CDs and with our help you can start with the best value for money without effort and without spending time ... which would otherwise be considerable. Selected are the best eight deals that the market offers. Combine with it a truly extraordinary start with the purchase of only one CD from € 5.99 or "equip yourself for life" by buying two collections with the very best songs combined: For example, the collection with the inappropriate name "Classic-Gassenhauer" ... that's 170 works on ten CDs for a measly € 13,99*. That's all you'll need in your life - and for your lessons. Here you get directly to the twelve best offers of Classical Music for babies, children and beginners. The easiest way to present the CD of your choice is with a cheap boombox, the quality is absolutely sufficient for this purpose. An even better result of popular pieces vs. "negative" in the sense of our philosophy offers the DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON: 50 top hits for only € 15,99*, with only one "rivet" ... again only in the sense of our Mission.

 

I have "checked" 250 CDs and CD collections for your lessons: for popular pieces, works that are not good at all at the beginning, for the price per popular or beautiful work and for the best deal among all offers. Here are the twelve best CD deals for babies, kids and beginners.

 

 


 

10.    Rip the Optimum Out of Your CD

 

Because in many offers - even in the best CD offers - now and then works are represented, which are suitable neither for students nor for beginners, there is another option: Rip the above complete CDs and remove these "negative" pieces.  If only you use these results, it's legal (... but this is not a legal advice, because I'm not allowed to offer it to you). If you are "overwhelmed" with this, surely one of your kids will help here. The result is then the " non plus ultra ", once compiled and usable for many, many years to come.

 

 


 

There Are Music Calendars for Teachers, for Parents, for Grandparents, for Organists, for Musicians, for Friends, for Classical Music Lovers, for Teens and for Elementary School Students: There Are Exciting Pieces for Every Music Fan ... Composers Calendars, Pipe Organ Calendars, Bach Calendars

Also, with the purchase of a music calendar from the store in the Publishing House "Bach 4 You" you support our Johann Sebastian Bach Mission and our Classical Music Mission: another option besides our "Teaching Material Classical Music". The shop link will take you to the entire offer in the store. Decide after your click for one of the offers.
