Sheet Music Licensing

Copyright is wonderful and also strange. It was created to work best for professional organizations, but it is still less than optimal for educational institutions, particularly at the K-12 levels. Students should be writing, highlighting, cutting up and pasting together their music to help learn quickly and efficiently. Additionally, due to the nature of many of our works containing multiple different leveled parts, these license terms often save organizations time and money due to minimized printing and shipping costs. Because of these aspects, unless otherwise indicated all “purchases” of our music have a limited duration for usage as advertised for each piece online and noted on each page of the sheet music.

Original Compositions and Public Domain Arrangements - Terms
Unless otherwise noted, our Lumiroar sheet music licensing allows for unlimited digital and printed copy usage for personal practice, rehearsal, household performance, or K-12 school performance for the duration of usage as advertised for each piece online and noted on each page of the sheet music. Each license allows for up to 1 educator and/or conductor and up to 150 student and/or professional musicians within one school, district (e.g. a traveling teacher) or organization (e.g. a professional symphony or community youth program). After the license date has passed, any digital and printed copies should no longer be utilized for any reason. Check out currently available works here!

Arrangements of Copyrighted Works by Others - Terms
During the licensed period, arranged sheet music with external copyrighted source material (e.g. “Feliz Navidad”, “The Merry Go Round of Life”, etc.) allows for digital and printed copy usage following typical United States copyright rules the duration of usage as advertised for each piece online and noted on each page of the sheet music. After the license date has passed, any digital and printed copies should no longer be utilized for any reason. The store description of each piece will delineate the number of musicians each purchase covers. (At this time, there are no currently-available works.)
