• School / University / Educational Institutions Music Departments. (We are proud that many of these Institutions regularly use our work).

For Soloist :

• Individuals who purchase Soloist CDs  or Downloads generally do not need to copy their purchase to others. For this reason we will generally not issue a licence to copy. However we will happily do so without charge on application, provided it is with the singers own singing organisation. Please provide your Note Perfect Order Number as proof of purchase.

An actual photocopy or scan of the licence sheet must accompany every CD/Tape Memory Device, and include the name of the original owner and licence number.

Copies must not be passed on to other choirs or singing organisations other that the one with whom you are affiliated.

This licence permits the owner to make adequate back ups of the recording for safeguard.
