My son has taken guitar with Grand Staff Music for 7 years. It is a wonderful school with caring and fun instructors. My daughter has also taken both violin and ukulele lessons there that were great. Lots of options! I always recommend them when asked.

Since starting at GMS, my daughter's guitar playing has improved tremendously, and she's developed a love for playing that she didn't get from other schools. I highly recommend Grand Staff, and a big thank you to Brian Emmel for teaching my kid to rock!
