Is it considered copyright infringement if I publish a book on how to do something based on what I learned at a school?
<p>Back in 2012, I took a career exploration at <a href="https://www.opb.org/news/article/vancouver-piano-school-blind-closing/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this school.</a> I was so inspired by it that I decided to write a tutorial on how it is done for the purposes of getting started, but not necessarily to replace instructions or hands-on learning.</p>

<p>I would like to self-publish it on the two major platforms being used, but I want to make sure I am doing it legally.</p>

<p>First, I indicated in the copyright notice or license agreement that this book is free to distribute for non-commercial use GNU General Public License 4.0</p>

<p>In the disclaimer, I indicated that the information contained herein are those of the author's research and do not represent the school in any way.</p>

<p>At the bottom, I gave resources, and gave credit to those at the school for having shown me the procedure.</p>

<p>Earlier this year, I asked a similar question about this, and I learned about the fair use argument.</p>

<p>Would it still be considered an infringement if I were to outline the exact steps based on what I recall, since I didn't come up with those steps originally?</p>

<p>If the content you are publishing is all in your own words, you are not copying anything, and therefore not infringing on anyone's copyright.</p>
