Licensing Information

Contests, Competitions, and Clinics

As specified in our Terms of Service, legal purchase of any of our original band, choral, or orchestral items in our catalog grants you specific permissions, including the ability to make judges’ copies of the score for festivals and competitions (subject to the rules/guidelines of the contest/festival/competition in question). For all intents and purposes, you may refer others to this page as evidence of this permission.

If your contest/competition/etc. requires PRINTED scores sent to you, please contact us with details on the name of the piece(s) you are performing and how many scores are required. The first printed score will be assessed a preparation fee of $10, with each additional score costing an extra $5 each (plus any shipping/handling). For example, if you require 3 judges’ copies of “Attack of the Romans”, the total cost would be $20, plus shipping.

Video Recordings

Legal purchases of our orchestral, band, and choral works allow for you to post videos/live streams of their performance on YouTube or other video sharing platforms. This license further allows you to even collect ad revenue on these videos, provided that the only work or works in the video are by and from Miller Music Creations. We will not issue copyright claims/strikes against videos that abide by these guidelines.

Musical Theatre

Musical theatre or stage works created/published/managed by Miller Music Creations fall under one of the following categories (and may require different/unique licensing agreements):

  1. Student Showcase – These are plays and musicals that can be performed on stage in a school concert setting, usually appropriate for elementary school kids. Songs are written with a piano accompaniment, but accompaniment tracks are provided. They require no set design; schools may opt for minimum costuming. (Content Rating: G)

  2. Mini Musical – These are shorter, one-act musicals that can be performed within an hour. They may be original works, or they may be shorter versions of existing full-length musicals in our catalog. Accompaniment tracks, books, and lead sheets are included; instrumental sheet music is available upon request. There are no age restrictions for participants in musicals of this nature. (Content Rating: G – PG)

  3. Full Versions – These selections are full-length musicals for school/or and community theater groups. Songs and subject matter may be more mature. Books, accompaniment tracks, and PV scores are included. Pit band sheet music is available upon request. (Content Rating: G – PG13)

Student Showcase products do not require licensing agreements. Mini Musicals and Full Versions do require a signed license agreement before beginning rehearsals. Royalty quotes are determined by a variety of factors including (but not limited to) number of shows, estimated tickets to be sold, house size, and the location of the performance. Contact us for more details.
