Music Arrangement Copyright Rules

Summary

Arranging and publicly performing music in Arizona requires checking if the music is copyrighted. If it is, you may need permission or a license for public performance. Some educational settings might have limited exemptions, but these are not comprehensive. If the music is in the public domain, you generally have more freedom to arrange and perform it without needing additional permissions.
