Under the copyright exception for education, students may take recordings of music from the internet to use in course work provided the original creators and sources are acknowledged. The video may be shown in class and saved in the school’s closed network where it is accessible to the teaching group and the teacher but cannot be made available more widely without the permission of the original creators. The video can also use music created by the students themselves, or music that can be freely used from the internet, such as content made available under a CC licence or material whose protection period has expired. Many video editing programs also have background music and sound effects that can be freely used. Check the usage rights for these in the program’s terms of use.
Do students need separate permission for music in a video they made during a lesson?
