Music Lessons in Glendale, CA

Private instruction for every age and level in Montrose, Glendale's foothill neighborhood. Guitar, piano, voice, drums, violin, music production and more, seven days a week since 1953.

Glendale's Neighborhood Music School

On Honolulu Avenue in Montrose since 1953.

A lot of Glendale families are surprised to learn that Montrose is part of Glendale. Grayson's Tune Town has been on Honolulu Avenue since 1953, run by four generations of the same family, and our ten lesson studios sit in the middle of the Montrose Shopping Park. From Verdugo Woodlands or Sparr Heights it is a few minutes up the road. From downtown Glendale it is about fifteen.

Glendale has plenty of music schools, and most of them are a room in an office building. Ours is a working music store. Students walk past the guitars, amps and drum kits on their way to the studios, and strings, books, rentals and repairs are all handled at the same counter. Parents can drop off and walk Honolulu for a coffee or an errand, and be back before the half hour is up.

We teach guitar, bass, ukulele, banjo, mandolin, piano, voice, drums, violin, brass, woodwinds and music production. Around twenty instructors across ten studios, seven days a week.

Why Glendale Families Choose Grayson's

Six reasons families here have stayed with us for decades.

🏦

Since 1953

Four generations of the same family, in the same neighborhood, on the same street. We now teach the children of students we taught years ago.

✨

A Store Worth Walking Into

Students come in through a room full of guitars, amps and instruments on their way to the studios. It is hard to overstate what that does for a young musician compared with a plain rented room.

📅

A Flexible Program

Thirty, forty five or sixty minute lessons, seven days a week. Weekday afternoons through evenings, weekends all day, and online lessons when you need them.

📍

Right Here in Glendale

Montrose is Glendale. A few minutes from Verdugo Woodlands and Sparr Heights, about fifteen from downtown, and no cross-town trip through traffic.

🎓

Accredited Instructors

🎤

Questions from Glendale Families

The things parents ask us most often.

Yes. The Montrose Shopping Park, where we have been since 1953, is part of the city of Glendale. We are at 2415 Honolulu Ave, a few minutes from Verdugo Woodlands and about fifteen minutes from downtown Glendale.
It depends far more on the child than the birthday. Piano and violin often work from around six. Guitar and drums usually want a little more size and hand strength. Call us and describe your child. We have had this conversation a few thousand times and we will tell you honestly if we think it is early.
Two ways. You can take our teacher match quiz, which asks about instrument, age, goals and schedule, or you can simply call and describe what you are after. Our staff know every instructor on the roster and will point you at the right one.
Yes, and more than people expect. Complete beginners in their fifties, players returning after thirty years away, and parents who decided to learn alongside their child.
Yes. Online lessons are available, and some families use them on busy weeks and come in person the rest of the time. Ask about it when you inquire and we will tell you which instructors teach online.
Of course. Stop in during store hours, look at the rooms, and ask us anything. Most families find it easier to decide once they have stood in the space.
