I would really like some people to help me out with suitable songs for English language teaching of listening skills and enjoyment of songs! I would like permission to use about 20 - 30 song recordings and lyrics - one would do for a start! Does anybody know how I can get this or is there any writer who doesn't mind their songs being used for teaching English purposes? HELP me out with this one! Ta, Sally |

Getting people to listen to it over and over again will really train their ears. ~Susan |

He sang "Skip to My Lou" in the school choir, wondering what "Maloo" meant. You may want to explain the concept of nonsense words. This having been said, I'm sure someone has the words to a song with verses like, "Oh what did Della wear (Delaware) boys? What did Della wear?" "She wore her new jersey boys (New Jersey) she wore her new jersey." There are innumberable verses for all the states, I think, and I'm sure it's public domain. Nobody would admit to THAT many puns. |

03 Sep 03 - 06:38 PM (#1012299) Subject: RE: Allowable songs/lyrics -English teaching From: McGrath of Harlow Does copyright actually apply in this sort of situation anyway? The songs are being used for educational purposes, rather than in the context of a public performance. How would it differ from reading children a story by an author who is still in copyright? Or is that a crime now in some places? |
