	PLAYTIME SUPPORTERS

	The record companies and music publishers have substantially reduced the license fees for the use of their music, compared to the fees they would charge commercially as they want to support the governments Music Manifesto and they want to support the use of music in education. They charge a modest fee as music must not be considered free and a payment for copyrights must be encouraged.


	♫	“I know this music collection and it is remarkable and comprehensive. To make this available to all students in the UK of all ages will deliver untold benefits. I would encourage both government, educational establishments and the business community to support this worthwhile and unique opportunity”. The Lord Lloyd Webber – Composer

	♫	“It is nothing less than marvellous that the vast collection of recordings, assembled by Phil Swern, will be available online to students of all ages in the U.K. Music is a vital part of our country’s history and social fabric and PLAYTIME’s service will ensure greater awareness of its importance and cultural value”. Sir Tim Rice - Composer

	♫	“PLAYTIME is a brilliant idea and it will afford countless young people access to a wonderful collection of music.” Sir George Martin - Producer

	♫	"Music is an important part of our heritage and culture. We should value it much more. The "Playtime for Schools" scheme will provide an amazing classroom resource for teachers and young people, which we hope will help stimulate enthusiasm and creativity, as well as respect for the great artists, composers and songwriters whose work they are enabled to use." Tony Wadsworth - Chairman and CEO - EMI Music UK & Ireland

	♫	"PLAYTIME is a great initiative and exactly the kind of collaboration with the music industry that can bring real musical opportunities and educational benefits to young people". Marc Jaffrey - Music Manifesto Champion

	♫	“This multi-million track archive is the best and most comprehensive music collection I have seen anywhere in the world. It has popular, Jazz, Country, Film, Stage Shows, Classical, Dance and Comedy….it’s brilliant. To make it available online to children at school is brilliant times two.” ‘Whispering' Bob Harris – BBC Radio

	♫	“Anything which enables children to love music should be encouraged.” Elton John

	♫	"To have this amazing resource at our fingertips in school will be absolutely fantastic. The opportunity to develop a catalogue of music resources suited to each educational establishment's needs is one way of ensuring that music plays a vital part in a broad and balanced curriculum that aims for excellence and enjoyment." Richard Bullard – Headmaster

	♫	"PLAYTIME is an amazing resource for schools. Good quality, broad ranging material that can be easily accessed, will stimulate and support learning whatever the age and phase of students and their teachers!. The addition of suggestions for listening and other activities drawn from particular pieces is especially valuable." Sarah Hennessy – Senior Lecturer in Music Education, University of Exeter and Current Chair of NAME

	♫	“The problem we constantly face is finding the recordings on the A-level/GCSE syllabuses and when we do have them it’s only one copy, which isn’t enough to share amongst all the students. The school has the technology to receive PLAYTIME with all the PC’s now linked to the internet and the time and money it would save searching, sourcing, maintaining and managing a music library could be put to much better use.” Jodie Cappleman – Music Teacher

	♫	“We believe music has a unique contribution to make to education of all children, not just those with the potential to become great professional musicians and composers. The musical future of this country depends on encouraging young people’s musical interest from an early age. We believe that music is important for the social and cultural values it represents and promotes, and should be accessible to everyone.” The UK Governments Music Manifesto
