Normally if you're just playing the music, for example using a cd but not copying it onto or into anything else and not being financially compensated you can have others listen to it with you. However you cannot incorporate it into your own work. For further exceptions you an try looking up "Music copyright for Schools" in your particular state or country, some schools can actually use some pieces and photocopy for students if they've paid the school licensing fee

General rule of thumb is that as long as you're not seeking to profit from using the copyrighted material you're okay to use it. I would, however try to check with the artist(s) involved to see if it's okay w/them...otherwise seek to use music that's out of copyright/public domain. PEACE!

Actually the rutle of thumb is "absolutely not!"copyrighted music is copyrighted for a purpose and just because you are using it in an educational environment does not alleviate you of the right to pay for someone else's work. How would you feel if you had gone to all the work to create a copyrighted piece of art and someone came along and stole it?Beware: a little theatre was not paying for royalties to plays that they were studying informally and then presenting in a reader's stage context and not charging admission for their "informances" (informal performances) but they were discovered and fined for back royalties for a couple of years worth of reader's theatre and the director dismissed.Schools are often given lower rates, possibly excused from paying but the publishing house must be contacted. The other alternative is to involve your music department and music students and get original music composed for your films.
