ABSTRACT
In creative music making (CMM) sessions, recording goes hand in hand with playing. The recording step is significant enough to be considered separately, because it alone provides the means for players and CMM participant listeners to hear their own performance and consider it in a non-playing context. In most situations the recordings made for playback in CMM sessions can be discarded or erased after they have been heard and have served their purpose as an educational tool. Such recordings could be assembled to make a CD master that give reference copies to the participants or even to make a commercial or promotional product. But in the case of an institution or ensemble seeking to use the CD as a fund-raising device, it would be wise to consider copyright matters. Participants to take advantage of recorded CMM improvisations is to transcribe from them, in whole or in part, to create written compositions that can be used privately or copyrighted and published.
