What Glendale Parents Are Reading
Music and Mastery and Mountain City Music Co. are the same company. Mountain City Music Co. was our first name. These are real, checked Google reviews from our guitar families. We quote them word for word.
"Mountain City Music is a great company, if you are looking for music lessons. It is well organized and well operated. My son's guitar instructor teaches him the fundamentals of music as well and working on songs my son specifically wants to learn. My son really looks forward to his lesson. And it's very convenient that they come to your home."
"Mountain City Music has been great! My daughter has taken both guitar lessons and voice lessons with their instructors. They are knowledgeable and give helpful tips that have helped my daughter improve immensely. The instructors come to our home, which is so convenient. I love that they work with our charter school. I can't recommend them enough!"
"My children are loving their vocal and guitar lessons. The instructors are very patient and knowledgeable. I would recommend Mountain City in a heartbeat!"

You know who is walking through your door before they get there
Before a teacher meets your family, they pass a DOJ and FBI LiveScan check. It is a background check on file, not a promise on a website. You meet them at the free first lesson, before you commit to anything. If they are not right for your child, we find you a new teacher at no charge.
The lesson happens in your living room, not across town
No drive after school, no waiting room, no second trip home. Your teacher comes to you in Glendale, guitar in hand. If you already have a guitar, they teach on the one your child practices on all week. You do not need to own one to start.
Your first lesson is free, and this is exactly what happens
Pick a time that suits you. We confirm it with your teacher within 24 hours. Then they come to your home and teach a full lesson, free. If you stay, it is a flat monthly rate, month to month, with a money-back guarantee.

Play the solo you have always wanted to play.
You did not have to start at seven. Some of our adult students are brand new. Others are coming back after years away. Some taught themselves and got stuck on the same five songs. Your teacher builds each lesson on the songs you want to play, not a stack of scales. Most students play something real sooner than they expect.

As young as five. We teach adult beginners too. Each lesson is one on one. The pace, hand shapes and songs fit your child's age and goals.
