Welcome to Luneflower Music Studio

We are so glad you’re here. Your child is beginning a wonderful musical journey, and we are honored to support them with patience, kindness, and joy along the way.

Weekly piano lessons

Students receive personalized weekly instruction designed around their age, level, and learning style.

Lessons focus on:

technique and healthy piano habits
music reading and rhythm
theory and musicianship
artistry and expression
confidence and independent practice skills

Our curriculum is rooted primarily in classical piano study while allowing room for creativity and musical exploration.

Your experience at Luneflower

A piano education at Luneflower is a journey of patience, creativity, and steady growth. We focus on building deep musical roots in a calm, encouraging space designed specifically for beginning musicians.

Studio recitals & events

Throughout the year, students are invited to participate in recitals, open mics, and seasonal studio gatherings.

These events are designed to:

celebrate progress
build confidence in performance
create meaningful musical memories
foster community among students and families

Participation is always approached with encouragement and care so that students feel supported throughout the experience.

A calm approach

At Luneflower, we prioritize thoughtful, structured learning over pressure or perfection. We believe students grow best when they feel safe to explore, ask questions, and develop at their own pace.

Our studio culture is rooted in:

patience
consistency
curiosity
kindness
genuine musical growth

Studio policies

Below is a brief overview of important studio policies. Please refer to the full Studio Agreement for complete details.

Tuition & Billing

Lessons are billed monthly and payment is kindly requested within seven (7) days of the invoice date. Late payments will incur a late fee. An annual registration fee helps support student materials such as method books and sheet music.

Scheduling & Attendance

Lessons take place on a consistent weekly schedule arranged between the studio and the family. To help maintain consistency for all students, we kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling requests. Lessons canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice are charged in full.

Ongoing Enrollment

Enrollment at Luneflower Music Studio is ongoing and reserves a consistent place in the studio for each student. If your family wishes to discontinue lessons, written notice is requested by the 20th of the month for withdrawal to take effect at the end of that month.

Family Partnership

We believe musical growth is a collaborative process between teacher, student, and family. Families play an important role in supporting practice routines, maintaining open communication, and encouraging steady progress at home. Our hope is to create a space where students feel safe to grow, explore, and express themselves through music.

Get the most out of your lessons

To help students have a positive and productive experience, we recommend:

♪

Being ready at the lesson start time with assigned materials and a focused mindset.

♪

Maintaining a consistent weekly practice routine. Small, consistent practice sessions are more effective than infrequent, long sessions.

♪

Creating a calm and distraction-free practice environment at home to support daily musical exploration.

♪

Encouraging effort and curiosity rather than perfection, which allows musical growth to happen in the small, daily moments.

Next steps for your family

1. Review and sign the Studio Agreement

Before lessons begin, please review and sign the Luneflower Music Studio Agreement sent by email. This agreement outlines important studio policies, scheduling information, and expectations that help lessons run smoothly for both students and families. If you have any questions while reviewing the agreement, you are always welcome to reach out.

2. Explore your My Music Staff student portal

Luneflower Music Studio uses My Music Staff as our student portal for scheduling, billing, lesson notes, practice assignments, and studio communication.

You will receive an email invitation containing a link to set your password and access your My Music Staff account for the first time. Once logged in, you will be able to:

view upcoming lesson times
access lesson notes and assignments
review invoices and payments
receive studio updates and announcements
access practice materials and resources

How to use the portal

My Music Staff Tutorial

Please watch the video below for a helpful overview of the student portal. A few features at Luneflower Music Studio work slightly differently from the tutorial shown:

Your portal can always be accessed through the Student Hub page on our website. We recommend bookmarking the page for easy access.
Lesson cancellations and scheduling changes are not currently managed through the portal. Instead, please contact the studio directly by email at hello@luneflowermusicstudio.com or by text at +1 (410) 979-7131.
Sheet music and practice materials will gradually be added to the Online Resources section as students progress through their lessons. It is completely normal for this folder to be empty at the beginning.

3. Prepare your instrument at home

Students are encouraged to practice consistently between lessons using a reliable instrument at home. A quality instrument helps students develop proper technique, listening skills, and confidence.

Beginner recommendations

For students just beginning lessons, we generally recommend:

an acoustic upright or grand piano (preferred), or an 88-key digital piano with weighted keys
a sturdy, adjustable stand (for portable digital pianos)
a sustain pedal
an adjustable piano bench

Regarding acoustic pianos:

Acoustic pianos offer the richest experience for developing technique, tone, and musical expression at the piano. While they can be a larger investment, renting or purchasing a quality used piano are both wonderful options for many families. Many piano stores also offer monthly financing, seasonal promotions, and trade-up programs that make upgrading over time more manageable.

As students continue to grow, families are always welcome to reach out for personalized guidance, including local rental and purchasing recommendations. If you are unsure whether your current instrument is appropriate for lessons, feel free to ask before purchasing anything new.

Digital pianos:
For families choosing a digital instrument, we recommend an 88-key digital piano with full-size, touch-sensitive, weighted/hammer-action keys. A few reliable, beginner-friendly options include the Roland FP-10, Yamaha P-145/P-145BT, and Kawai ES60. For families looking for a more premium digital piano, the Yamaha P-225 is another excellent option.

Please feel free to send us a link before purchasing an instrument—we’re always happy to confirm that a particular model will be a good fit.

Helpful accessories:

metronome (many free apps are available)
headphones (for digital pianos when needed)

We are here to support you

If you have any questions about these next steps, please don't hesitate to reach out. We want your family's start at Luneflower to be as peaceful as the music we'll create together.
