A Short Drive from Pasadena
Straight up the 210 to Montrose.
Grayson's Tune Town has been on Honolulu Avenue in Montrose since 1953. From Pasadena it is a straight run west on the 210, about fifteen minutes from Old Town and less from the Linda Vista side.
Pasadena families have good options for music lessons, and we would not pretend otherwise. What we offer that most of them do not is a working music store around the studios, four generations of the same family behind the counter, and around twenty instructors, which means we can usually find a teacher who fits both the student and the schedule.
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 Pasadena Families Choose Grayson's
Six reasons students make the trip up the 210.
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.
One Freeway Away
About fifteen minutes from Old Town on the 210, with no surface-street crawl at the end. Most families say it is easier than crossing Pasadena itself.
Accredited Instructors
Our teachers hold degrees from prestigious university music programs. You can read every instructor's background and training before you book a single lesson.
Working Musicians
Most of our instructors still perform, record and gig around Los Angeles. Students learn from people actively doing the thing they are being taught to do.
