The toddler music class is led by an energetic and experienced teacher specializing in early childhood education and music.
Grand Central Music offers instrument rentals, instrument repairs, guitar, bass, ukulele and banjo repairs, and creates custom cables, custom pedal boards, and custom PA systems. The store also provides PA, sound and lighting rentals and installation. Every April and October, students perform for family and friends at a free student concert that is free to participate in and attend.
Grand Central Music describes itself as a mom and pop, brick and mortar walk-in music store with a family friendly atmosphere, convenient free parking, and a bus stop close by on Orcutt Road. The store is positioned as an alternative to generic box stores and faceless internet retailers. Grand Central Music has been serving San Luis Obispo since 2005, and Dan Ernst is mentioned by name in relation to the store. The stated mission is: “Music is an experience. Immerse yourself in that experience at Grand Central Music.”
