what families tell us
Loved by OC families
"Great experience! Ms Carrie is a wonderful person and an awesome instructor. My son really enjoys and looks forward to his piano and guitar lessons every week :)"
"We're so grateful for the amazing music program at OC Music, where my daughter has found a haven of peace… her music teacher Jose, been incredibly patient and understanding, tailoring the classes to meet her unique needs and incorporating her sensory routine… For my autistic daughter, music has been a source of calm and joy, and the team at OC Music has gone above and beyond to nurture her passion."
"Our Grandson (7 yrs), who has special needs, has difficulty in the regular school setting as well as in any social situation. The music lessons with Ms. Lety Castillo has been a bright light in his life. We have discovered he has a passion for music. Ms. Lety has opened up a whole new world for him! She is compassionate, patient, encouraging, positive and gets results that amaze us."
"I've appreciated not only the musical wisdom and expertise, but the patience and guidance for a slow-moving adult learner. I've gained so much from my time as a student."
music for life
More than a lesson. A music family.
Students play for people when they are ready, never before. Relaxed recitals where everyone gets cheered on. Grandfriends visits to local senior communities. Pop up music booths at events around Orange County. Holiday shows, movie nights, and the occasional squirrel joke you will only get once you are one of us.
What learning music builds
Playing an instrument is a workout for the whole brain. While you are having fun with your favorite songs, you are building skills that show up everywhere else.
Focus
Staying with a song from start to finish stretches attention a little more each week.
Coordination
Hands, eyes, ears, and feet learn to work together.
Memory
Patterns, lyrics, and chords train recall in a way that feels like play.
Calm and confidence
A healthy way to unwind, and proof with every song that you can learn hard things.

Never. We teach adults and seniors every week, including complete beginners.
Do you teach students with special needs?
Yes. Our teachers are patient and flexible, and we shape every lesson around how each student learns best. All abilities are welcome.
