The copyright exception for education allows the playing of recorded music to support learning and illustrate teaching. Use in the classroom for a particular course of study and for wider school events is permitted provided these are attended only by members of the school/college. The copyright exception supersedes the restrictions of the Spotify licence only in these specific situations and we would recommend a school/college having its own Spotify agreement that is specific to school activities.
Is it possible to play music from Spotify during a lesson?
