This page covers:

In the UK
If you perform copyright music in a public space, including in schools, it is the responsibility of the venue to obtain a performing rights licence. These licences are collectively managed by PRS for Music or the Centre for Education and Management on their behalf for certain musical performances in schools.
Outside the UK
Contact your local collective rights organisation to ask about collective licensing in your country.

Digital platforms (such as Skype, Zoom or MS Teams) will ensure the communication of copyright repertoire from their service is correctly licensed. If you are unsure about your licensing obligations or need advice, contact:
- PRS for Music if you live in the UK
- your local music rights organisation if you live outside the UK
If you are displaying our music on-screen you may need our permission. See our Print reproduction page.
