Licence: one set lets you copy the score 5 times, or 25 times if you teach at a school in Australia or New Zealand (AMCOS Schools Licence). Buy one set for every 5 singers (every 25 at an Australian or New Zealand school); set the quantity to the number of sets. Teaching the song by rote and only handing out lyrics? One set is enough. How copying works.
