From customer service on the phone to customer service in the store, OC Music was fantastic! I brought my 10-year old son’s violin in to see if it could be repaired. I made the mistake of purchasing his violin online and the warranty repair parts were taking forever to arrive from China.
We were greeted by Jeff via phone and upon arriving at the store and I was simply expecting him to take a look and let us know if it could or couldn’t be repaired. At first I thought all hope was lost since he advised the missing screw was not a standard one or from a manufacturer he carried. BUT, before we knew it, Jeff was making a fix (he was able to re-string without the missing screw), readjusting the bridge, and re-tuning the violin for us. It took him but a few minutes and once done, I asked how much we owed and he said NO COST! I was blown away by his kindness and willingness to help considering we did not purchase the violin from him.
THANK YOU JEFF for your kind heart and for exceeding my expectations! I will most certainly spread the word and refer anyone and everyone with music needs/services to you and OC Music Center.
My daughter (12 y) has been going here for a couple of years now. Prior to going to OC Music Center, she received two years of lessons from another teacher but she hated the lessons and the teacher, and it made her miserable. I didn’t want my daughter giving up on piano so we switched over to OCMC and they paired my daughter up with Susanne who is not only a gifted piano teacher but is wonderful with young students. Thanks to the center and Susanne, my daughter doesn’t complain about practicing or going to her lessons anymore. The staff up front is very friendly too and always has a smile when we come in. Smiles are rare gems it seems nowadays and OCMC is a diamond!
Best place to Guitar repair and all other instruments repaired
One of my grandsons wanted to learn the guitar. After researching numerous places for lessons I settled on here. What a good choice! The staff was just so kind and helpful. He starts his lessons next week and I’m looking forward to see how he progressive. Fine place.
Meh. Not very good at teaching guitar. I left after three lessons.

Paul Cruz is an excellent guitar teacher at Rancho Canyon Music. My 9 year has a blast with him. He makes learning fun. Wish I could give 6 stars.
Paul is amazing guitar teacher, been going there for years and he makes learning a lot of fun
My son has taken drum lessons with Corey for several months and loves it. Corey is flexible, encouraging, and creates a welcoming environment for my enthusiastic 10-yr-old. We have enjoyed Rancho Canyon Music so much that our daughter has just started guitar too!
Owner is always so helpful – we’ve rented instruments here and will continue to do so when needed.
My kids have taken lessons there, rented instruments over the years too. Called today to inquire about piano lessons for adults. Asked if they have female teachers as I had a bad experience with male teachers and would rather do it with a woman… The owner says “oh yea that means all the male ones suck yea ok”. Wow, what an ignorant thing to say, especially in this day and age. You have no idea what someone’s experience has been like, that’s so uncalled for! So wrong…
My son is 7 years old and LOVES going to drum lessons and band practice. The teachers are so nice and understanding. They teach in such a way that allows kids to have fun and learn at the same time-shout out to George and John! My son has really found his niche here and I really enjoy the families and other teachers I have met there too. All around a great organization!
I have been going to the School of Rock for a couple of months. The group lessons (band) are really fun and motivate you to keep practicing in order to keep up with the rest of the group. I have taken traditional music lessons, however they get boring and I lost interest. The School of Rock lets you play the music you want while teaching the theory at the same time. The teachers are awesome and the atmosphere is rad. Basically, this place rocks.

David Lopez is a very good guitar teacher. He can help guitarists at any level. He teaches basic scales and chords and advanced techniques like how to solo and transpose the keys of songs. He gives excellent advice on gear. He meets the student where they’re at and helps them develop and grow as a guitarist. He has many years of experience in the music industry and is knowledgeable on all guitar topics.
David has taught my 12yr old son for 3 years and has done a wonderful job of teaching him how to enjoy the art of guitar (s). David is very accommodating with schedules and allows flexibility for us which is imperative because of my sons busy athletic schedule. David is very patient and guides his student with great skill.
Dave was highly recommended to us by our worship pastor. He has taught all 3 of my sons, two of whom learned from him since day 1, and the other came to him to fine tune his skills and education. His experience allows for my boys to focus in any direction they want, communicates well, and offers valuable advice. Besides his talent, we’ve known Dave for years and he is such a kind, honest, and trustworthy man. He is a blessing and a gem!
