(iii) Guidelines With Respect to Music

In a joint letter dated April 30,1976, representatives of the Music
Publishers' Association of the United States, Inc., the National Music
Publishers' Association, Inc., the Music Teachers National Association,
the Music Educators National Conference, the National Association of
Schools of Music, and the Ad Hoc Committee on Copyright Law Revision,
wrote to Chairman Kastenmeier as follows:

"During the hearings on H.R. 2223 in June 1975, you and several of your
subcommittee members suggested that concerned groups should work
together in developing guidelines which would be helpful to clarify
Section 107 of the bill.

"Representatives of music educators and music publishers delayed their
meetings until guidelines had been developed relative to books and
periodicals. Shortly after that work was completed and those guidelines
were forwarded to your subcommittee, representatives of the undersigned
music organizations met together with representatives of the Ad Hoc
Committee on Copyright Law Revision to draft guidelines relative to
music.

"We are very pleased to inform you that the discussions thus have been
fruitful on the guidelines which have been developed. Since private
music teachers are an important factor in music education, due
consideration has been given to the concerns of that group.

"We trust that this will be helpful in the report on the bill to clarify
Fair Use as it applies to music."
