Lessons, Classes, and Instrument Rentals


Gryphon offers ongoing group classes every season for a variety of instruments and musical styles. We also offer one-day workshops from touring musicians and local talents, and we offer private lessons on nearly every stringed instrument from our experienced teachers. Be sure to keep an eye out for the latest workshops, as these sometimes come up at the last minute and can be once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
» Gryphon Teaching Staff for Individual Lessons
Yes, Gryphon offeres learning opportunities and lessons are available from any of the instructors listed here (with the exception of Carol, who only teaches groups). Scheduling and payment for private lessons is done directly with the instructor, so call the numbers listed below to get started.
» Group Classes
start four times a year (sort of on the quarter system), and usually last ten weeks with a one-hour lesson each week. It's like going to school again, but more fun. If you are on our mailing list, the class schedule also appears in our Gryphon Gazette .
» One-Day Workshops
are also offered by visiting artists and instructors, usually on Saturdays. Sometimes members of the Gryphon teaching staff also offer one-day classes. You can purchase tickets in advance to reserve your place, either by phone or mail.

Lock-It Straps Make it Easier to Relax

posted Dec 04, 2012

Using a patented design, these Lock-It straps eliminate the hassle of using metal strap locks to keep your instrument securely connected to your strap, and to you. You don't have to put special strap buttons on your instruments, and you can switch to a conventional strap whenever you want. Lock-It straps are made in the USA, and are currently available from the Gryphon Mercantile.
