About “Hearts in Harmony” AUSLAN Signs from the album, ‘The Power of You’
*The Auslan sign packs do not include the sheet music for this song. Sheet music and scores must be purchased separately.*
Auslan is the language of the Australian Deaf Community.
The illustrations and explanations of the signs do not exactly match the English words as word for word translations do not always make sense. One English word may may result in several Auslan signs or alternatively, a series of English words may be expressed by one or two signs. The lyrics to be sung appear above the pictures and the explanation of the signs are included under the pictures. Deaf people are able to understand the meaning of these signs by watching someone sign in Auslan

PDF & Copy Licence – for Choral Reproduction and For-Profit Performance
Individual Choral Arrangements
All individual choral arrangements are available at the click of a button, and purchases are instantly emailed to you as a PDF, pre-stamped with licence information on the sheet music for legal and licensing purposes. No mail, no queue, no waiting and no delivery costs! Use this legal copy as your master score to make the exact amount of copies that you have purchased and keep the PDF on file for the future!
The minimum fee for every single Choral Arrangement is based on a PDF & Copy licence for 5 standard copies. So, for example, if you purchase a piece for AUD$3.30 – you will pay AUD$16.50 which will allow you to make 5 legally-reproduced copies for your singers (or 25 copies if you are within the AMCOS School Licence Agreement).
- We recommend printing the Choral Arrangements back to back in booklet form on 100GSM A4 paper or more.
- Please do not share the digital downloads or make more reproductions (either by physical copy or digital sharing) than what you have legally purchased. Your honesty is appreciated and under international or AMCOS copyright law – to keep composers like us writing and recording.
- By purchasing from this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this agreement.
The AMCOS (Australian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society) Schools Licence Agreement – 25 licenced copies per purchased arrangement set
For all Australian and New Zealand schools only, photocopying laws apply under the AMCOS Schools Licence Agreement. Australian and New Zealand schools are legally permitted to make 5 additional copies per purchased score.
Every choral arrangement digital download set from ‘Welcome to Music’ includes licences for 5 scores (each allowing an additional 5 copies to be made under AMCOS).
Therefore, one purchase of a digital choral arrangement set from ‘Welcome to Music’ allows 25 legal copies to be made by teachers ONLY in Australia or New Zealand.
- Example: If you have a choir of 50 AUS/NZ students, you will need to purchase 2 choral arrangement sets.
Standard International Copyright Law licence – 5 licenced copies per purchased arrangement set
All other countries and groups including Australian & New Zealand adult or professional choirs, festivals, and all other schools outside of Australia and New Zealand are under the same international standard licence of 1 copy per singer with a minimum of 5 copies. Every choral arrangement digital download set from ‘Welcome to Music’ includes licences for 5 scores automatically.
Therefore, one purchase of a digital choral arrangement set allows 5 legal copies to be made for all standard choral purposes (5 singers).
- Example: If you have a choir of 50 people/students and you are not a teacher within AUS/NZ schools, you will need to purchase 10 choral arrangement sets (1 licence per singer).
Minimum purchase of 5 copies of an individual Choral Arrangement
We do understand that teachers may not always desire or be able to photocopy the music score for each student for class or choir use – either because the students are too young, you would like to teach the song by rote or the school can’t afford it. In this case, we ask that you purchase one set of a choral arrangement which includes 5 standard licences.

FAQs
- How do I purchase a single choral arrangement?
- As part of a Welcome to Music Choral Pack which is a collection of single arrangements for perusal purposes
- I have 53 x 5-7 year old singers in my junior choir and I would like each singer to have their own copy of the music. How many copies of the choral arrangement pack do I have to order?
- If you are a teacher within a school in Australia or New Zealand:
- For this example, 2 copies of a digital choral arrangement pack will not be quite enough (only allowing 50 legal copies), therefore you will need to purchase 3 copies of the digital choral arrangement pack (allowing up to 75 legal reproductions). Use the extra copies as needed for replacement scores or to save for future years.
- If you are a teacher/director of any choir (school or professional) OUTSIDE of Australia/New Zealand or are a professional choir (non-school) within Australia/New Zealand:
- You will need to purchase 1 score per singer. Because our choral arrangements are sold in packs of 5 standard licence copies, you will need to purchase 11 choral arrangement packs (allowing up to 55 legal reproductions) to have enough licences for each of your singers.
- If you are a teacher within a school in Australia or New Zealand:
Note: If you only wish to teach the song by rote or reproduce and hand out the lyrics from the Teacher’s Book, you only need to purchase one pack of a Choral Arrangement which will still entitle you to photocopy the master PDF x 5.
