John Pedersen

John Pedersen, the founder of Pedersen's Band & Orchestra in Burbank, California, began his career with a small instrument repair shop.  The store, which began in the early 1970s, continued to grow even during the 17 years he spent working for the Los Angeles Unified School District repairing student instruments.  In 2000, his wife Nedra began working alongside John full time to make the business a true mom and pop operation.  The couple is very proud of the role they have played over the years of bringing music into the lives of so many young students.
