What makes Lutherville Music School different?
At LMS, we focus on the process, not the product
Our students learn and grow without being “forced” to practice. Making music in a pressure-free environment enhances creativity and imagination, promoting a lifelong love for music. Whether our students are here to make music with friends or they have an important audition coming up, the most important thing is that they have fun!
We're a community - not just a school
Lutherville Music School isn’t just a place where kids are dropped off for music lessons and picked up an hour later. We’re a vibrant, nurturing community where our students feel at home. Our students don’t just learn and grow as musicians - they thrive creatively, develop a lifelong love for the arts, and make friends for life.
Our school is built for you
LMS is a music school built for you. We don’t use a “one size fits all” approach to music education. We cater to each student’s unique needs, listening carefully to their ideas and following their lead. Students select their own songs and make their own musical decisions - whether they’re taking individual lessons or they are part of a band. Bottom line: Because we give our students a voice and ownership of their music education, they learn and have fun at the same time!
Our teachers are the best
Our team of music educators takes the time to get to know their students. They care deeply about crafting musical experiences for them by implementing research-based practices that support growth and achievement without added pressure or unrealistic expectations. All decisions our teachers make are student-centered with the elementary, adolescent, or adult learner in mind. Our teachers have professional music experience and most are actively involved in the Baltimore music scene, bringing valuable real-world insights into their lessons to inspire and guide their students.
We recently renovated our space
With a brand new stage, revamped recording studio, modern practice rooms, and a more robust recording system, we are taking things to the next level at LMS! Things might look new and different, but our warm community vibe can still be felt in every space of our facility.
We have fun, free live performances throughout the year
After our Spring and Winter band sessions, we host a live, full-of-energy show at the BC Brewery. Each band gets to perform a set of songs on stage for their friends, family, and other fellow musicians. After our summer session, we host a fun, outdoor show on school grounds. Not only are these events exciting for the audience, but our students get the invaluable experience of playing under the warm glow of the stage lights in a real music venue.
We work with your schedule
We’re open seven days a week, offering a wide range of practice and lesson times to accommodate your busy schedule. Our teachers work individually with their students to select the best times that work for them.
We have a record of excellence since 2011
Recognized in 2024 by The Baltimore Sun‘s “Reader's Choice Award for Best Music Lessons" and by Macaroni Kid for “the most loved music lessons,” LMS has a proven track record of offering quality music and voice lessons and coaching student rock bands. We’ve served close to 2000 students over the past 13 years. Be sure to check out our testimonials to see what our students and families are saying. We’re a music school built for you: our full-time mission is to create customized experiences for each unique learner while having fun doing it!
We celebrate our students’ accomplishments
We have a “wall of fame” featuring our student bands who have been together for three or more years, annual awards presented to students who exhibit dedication and/or improvement, and a student-of-the-month column in our newsletter. We think it’s important to not only nurture and encourage our students, but to recognize and celebrate their successes.
We take cool band photos
Each season, our bands get the chance to participate in creative, album-cover style photo shoots. Our students look forward to this tradition and their families love the unique keepsakes that showcase their students’ individuality and their band’s collective artistic spirit. Just take a walk up the stairs at LMS to experience the display of the creative, quirky, grungy, glittery, or retro photographs featuring the most prized part of our music school: our amazing students!
We offer month-to-month lessons for a wide range of instruments
LMS does not require semester minimums for lessons - every student is on a month-to-month basis. If you are ready to start, we don’t require a commitment to a long term contract. We offer lessons for guitar, bass guitar, drums, piano, keyboard, flute, saxophone, clarinet, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, voice, and strings (cello, viola, violin, upright bass).
We host fun community events
We have an active student council who works with our administrative team to plan fun seasonal events, open mic nights, and festivals. The vibrant, lively environment of LMS is a place where students have fun with friends while doing what they love - making music. We also give back to our community by participating in and performing at local events like fundraisers, art shows and the 4th of July fireworks celebration.
Our school is in a prime location
We know how busy and hectic your schedule is. We’re centrally located right off the Beltway in Lutherville-Timonium, making it convenient for students from all over the Baltimore area to get to us.
What else could you be looking for in a music school?
Our warm and welcoming atmosphere, experienced and patient teachers, and overall supportive, nurturing school culture makes LMS the perfect environment for an aspiring musician to thrive - not just as a musician, but as a member of a one-of-a-kind community.
