Terms of Use
Last updated: July 2026
Welcome to Prep Beats. By visiting and using this website, you agree to the terms below. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site. These terms are written in plain language because Prep Beats is a straightforward resource, and we want them to be easy to understand.
What Prep Beats Is
Prep Beats is a free, ad-supported website that publishes articles and resources for band directors, music teachers, and their students. The site is created and maintained by Jason Griffith, Ed.D., a veteran music educator and school administrator. Everything published here is offered free of charge. There are no paid memberships, no subscriptions, and no accounts to register. You are welcome to read, share, and use our articles in your teaching.
Use of Our Content
The articles, images, and other original materials on Prep Beats are protected by copyright and remain the property of Prep Beats and Jason Griffith, Ed.D., unless otherwise noted. You are welcome to link to our pages and to reference our articles in your own classroom and professional work. You may not republish, copy, or redistribute substantial portions of our content on another website or in any commercial product without prior written permission. Educators are, of course, free to use the ideas and strategies we share in their own teaching.
Educational Information Only
The content on Prep Beats is provided for general informational and educational purposes. It reflects the author's professional experience and opinions in music education and school administration. While we strive for accuracy and practicality, the site does not provide legal, financial, medical, or professional advice, and it is not a substitute for the policies of your own school or district. Always use your own professional judgment and follow your local guidelines when applying anything you read here.
Third-Party Links and Advertising
Prep Beats displays advertising through Google AdSense and may contain links to third-party websites and tools we think readers will find useful. We do not control those external sites or the ads served to you, and we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. When you follow a link away from Prep Beats, the terms and privacy policy of that other site apply. For information about how advertising and data are handled on our site, please see our Privacy Policy.
The Teaching Hub and Interactive Tools
Prep Beats links to a separate Teaching Hub of free, browser-based music games and practice tools. Those tools are provided as-is for educational use. We work to keep them functional and useful, but we cannot guarantee that every tool will be available or error-free at all times.
No Warranties
Prep Beats is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We do our best to keep the site accurate, current, and available, but we do not guarantee that it will always be uninterrupted, error-free, or complete. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Prep Beats and its author are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or its content.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of Prep Beats after any changes means you accept the updated terms.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
