My daughter had been going here since she was 5 years old now she is turning 8 this summer. The owner Mrs Pham is a an excellent teacher. She is very structure, organized, and is eager to teach piano. If you have questions or comments she is great at responding and making things clear, besides she is very nice, friendly and professional. Myself being a business owner for many years I can tell she enjoy whats she doing. I will have my second daughter and boy enrolled in a few years when they are old enough. Overall, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good piano locally. Message me if you have questions read more

OC Music Studio - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Westminster, California

I will leave a neutral review because I've only been to the consultation and will not be enrolling. Like some of the reviews mentioning rudeness; they were accurate. I came in with the most positive attitude and even so I was greeted with such a brass personality from the owner. The place was the most convenient for me but I had to reject. As pleasant as I tried to be, she was crossed and seems offended with any questions I had regarding anything. I couldn't enroll my kids to a piano lesson of all things if a simple consultation seems to trigger her. read more

I appreciate Ms. Anna for her instruction. I am an adult student. When I first started, my technique is poor. One example is that I used to play with rigid wrists. She is knowledgeable and has helped me fix my techniques. She showed me the way to relax my wrists so that I won't hurt myself and to be able to play more advanced pieces. Now I am more confident with the way I play the piano than before. Much less to no tension, thanks to her instruction. In addition, Ms. Anna is accommodating when it comes to scheduling. Her tuition is reasonable, too. read more

Good music program, good CM program and recitals are good experience for the students.

My 3 children ages 5 and 7 started taking piano lesson with Ms. Anna Pham when we moved to California. She is a wonderful teacher who has taken the time to get to know my kids' learning styles and to work with them on improving their techniques. She has taught them about perseverance and repeating songs until they master the skills. They just had their first piano recital and I could not be more proud of what they have learned. read more

My daughter has been taking piano lessons here for almost 2 years now. The place offers private lessons for many instruments on weekdays and weekends. The teachers are friendly and are very skilled and experienced in what they do. In addition, they have a computer lab where you can work on your theory, and they have an electronic piano where you can practice pieces. Plus, two times a year, there are recitals where students of all experience and instruments can come and perform. read more

To The Annonymus N. that wrote this bad review regarding OCMC owner & Teachers. Your comments where very untasteful and rude.I've known Ms Anna for several years I've never known her to hit, yell, or say anything that would hurt a students feelings Ms. Anne and the teaching staff are very trained professional music educational teacher's that care about the students and there ability to perform well. The comments that where made about OCMC are NOT true. Teachers give there time and knowlegde to students to accomplishing there musical talents. Anyone who is jealous about another persons accomplishments will always find fault and negativity ;maybe that's why the school's enrollment has increased the pass year. read more

This is a very nice studio with great and quality program for all students. My daughter studied with Ms Anna and we like her a lot. She is very professional and patient with her. She got a Master degree in Music and has many years of teaching experiences. I highly recommend Ms Anna and all the teachers in the studio. read more

I personally teach here, and from what I've seen, as long as the students are also willing to put in the time themselves, they will have success - as with any endeavor. The success is equal parts student and teacher combined, and there are many students who excel, to the credit of both the teaching style of the teacher and hard work of the student. Every teacher has their own style - some keep a faster pace while others prefer to be more thorough, but it really depends on the learning style of the student. For this reason, the diversity in methods is an asset rather than a hindrance. I have seen students succeed with multiple techniques, so the important thing is to recognize the learning method in each child and what motivates them, then to teach in that way. It's a learning journey to get to the root of a child's process, and there is often time needed to adjust. Either way, we try to balance both parental, student and our own expectations, although doing so always involves judgement and compromise. I have personally had many interactions with Anna as to the learning needs of specific students, and have been impressed with her ability to keep track of every child within the school, regardless of if they are hers or not. I know that she's actively involved the curriculum of each child, and her students have earned numerous awards. read more

Exactly what the other yelper said....bad customers service and very rude! I called today to inquire about vocal and piano lessons for my daughter and a group of girls in her school but the some lady Anna answered and was extremely rude. It has nothing with the fact that she's vietnamese. I asked about lessons, it was $30/hour and no group lesson. It's decent price however we are going to be taking out business elsewhere. Such bad vibe from this place! read more

Ms. Pham is a wonderful person: passionate instructor and motivated business person. Her Orange County Music Conservatory is a tremendous benefit to the community! read more

I've taught piano at OCMC since 2011. This is a pretty good place for teaching and learning. It provides the use of computers for students to get music theory tutoring while they wait for their private lesson. The school's director Ms. Anna really cares about the musical growth of each student. She organizes 2 recitals each year to give the opportunity to students of all levels to perform. I taught at a few other music schools before and OCMC so far is the most educational one. To the Anonymous evaluator - who is so coward that can't even say your name - you and your kid represent that very small percentage of people who are delusional, bad in learning attitude, and can't take any criticism. I know exactly that these kind of students exist because I myself in my 15 years of teaching experience encounter them every once in a while. These kind of students usually believe that learning should be always fun and should have no hard work involved. When they fail, they always blame the teacher. read more

Our daughter has been taking lessons with Ms. Anna for almost 3 years and she has not only learned to enjoy playing the piano but she has also become a very good player already at age 8. Ms. Anna teaches well and makes our daughter interested in learning more and challenge herself. Also, Ms. Anna is always so flexible with the schedule. I would highly recommend this music school! read more

I have been going here for almost 2 1/2 years now learning piano with Miss Anna and she is one of the most dedicated and musically talented teachers I have ever had! She has helped me build technique and sight-reading​ skills better than any other teacher I have ever had. I would recommend her and the OC Music Conservatory to any aspiring music student. read more

My granddaughter has been a piano student of Miss Anna for the past few years. We are extremely grateful to Miss Anna for her hard work, dedication, perseverance, & diligence as a great piano teacher. read more

My kids have been taking piano lessons from Miss Anna and Miss Cynthia for several years already. The teachers love what they do and they're very good at it. My kids play well now. I always love to play the piano but didn't have a chance when I was younger. So I began taking piano lessons with Miss Anna since April along with my kids. I have to say, Miss Anna has been very patient with me. I recommend OC Music Conservatory to everyone that has been thinking about taking music lessons or for their kids. read more

This place is great, Mr.Cory teaches me very well in drums.  stars for this!

We went in on Sat 3/26/16 around 3:45pm to get some information to sign my daughter & myself up for piano classes. Waited for about 5 mins to be helped, no one came. In the meantime I began looking at vouchers and a sheet I noticed on a desk that included the prices. As I was reading the price sheet the owner came out and was extremely rude. She said she was the owner twice, and had a tone that was asking us to get out. We asked about group classes which was clearly stated on the sheet we were looking at. All she said was we do not offer group classes. Extremely rude would not recommend this place. I will be happily taking my business elsewhere. read more

I started learning piano a couple of years ago to basically keep my mind crisp and sharp as I age. As I learned to play I fell in love with playing more and more. My first teacher was really nice and I learned a lot, but I lacked in certain fundamentals of playing. I really saw that once I started coming here. It's not just about playing the notes as they're written on the page, it's about PLAYING the notes as they're written on the page, playing them with feeling, playing them with emotion, playing them so someone listening can feel the sound you're trying to achieve, not just hear the sound. That's the thing about classical music and music in general. It can be played, but when you really start to play it, that's when you feel the difference instead of just hearing it. I'm constantly trying to improve my playing so that I can feel the music I'm playing, instead of just hearing it. Miss Anna has really helped me understand this much more so, than I had before. She emphasizes the way I play the songs, the way I move my fingers on the keys, the way I play the music with expression. I feel that I'm getting a better understanding of playing the piano opposed to just understanding how to play a piano. I would highly recommend the OCMC if you're interested in really embracing the art of playing an instrument. read more

My kid was taking lesson at this studio. The owner, Anna Pham was very rude. She has this heavy in agony face when giving lessons. she is a very deceiving woman when charging fee. but deceiving in general. She was trying to have her way with my husband. my relationship is ruined because of her. I have seen things that is not very decent here. Do not let your man walk freely here and watch out for your over charge fee. read more

my son takes piano lesson from Ms Murga in this music conservatory and she is very patient and true to her profession. She is 100% dedicated and went out of her way to help my son achieve his goal. It is hard to find a good piano teacher with a cheap price like here. I totally recommend people who wants their kids to learn piano to go here. They are very flexible and are willing to go to your house to teach. That was especially important to me! read more

I have known Anna at Orange County Music Conservatory for over a year now and I can't say enough about what an amazing musician and person she is. She is extremely passionate about helping her students become the best musicians they can be. I recently went to the school's recital and it was wonderful to see all of her students really passionate and excited about playing music. read more

I have been teaching piano at Orange County Music Conservatory since 2008 and it has been a blessing to instill a love of music into my students over the years. There are many opportunities for students to express their talents through multiple recitals per year as well as MTAC Certificate of Merit and also scheduled performances throughout Orange County. The environment is fresh and the atmosphere is encouraging at OCMC. Each teacher brings their own distinct style of teaching designed to help each student succeed in their musical education. OCMC provides a robust approach to learning music in whatever instrument of your choosing through music theory, technical prowess, and a wide variety of musical styles from classical to contemporary and pop. It has been so much fun to help students find the styles of music that they love to play and help them to grow in their technical ability and enjoyment of the music. Miss Anna provides theory lab work on the computers and has been running the studio swiftly for many years providing many avenues for musical growth. I have known her and the other teachers at OCMC for quite a long time and their commitment to quality music education is evident. As to the sour review, I do not know a teacher who is mean or easy at OCMC. There are some people that you just cannot please and never will, and the comments that were made were and are completely untrue and uncalled for. Orange County Music Conservatory is a safe environment to learn music and a garden for musical growth. read more

Awesome school! Great teacher! My son piano skills has improved a lot for just three months studying with Ms. Anna. Within a 30-munite lesson per week, he receives a variety of knowledge in technical skills as well as musicianship skills. Every minute of lesson is valuable. Tuition is very affordable too. read more
