My son doesn't like being around people (social anxiety). Well thank Jesus that when we arrived at…read moreMusic & Arts no one was in there shopping. I went inside alone and seen that it was truly empty so I begged my child to come in. He did! He needed a new flute and Moises was so good dealing with my son's special needs. He was so patient and invited us into a private sound proof room to try out the different flutes. He was so patient and not only let but encouraged my son to try every single flute & piccolo! We ended up not only leaving with a flute, but also a piccolo AND A NEW FRIEND IN MOISES. Moises I still to this day feel so blessed about that encounter and we will never forget that experience. You are forever etched in our hearts! Thank you for going above and beyond for us! Praying many blessings come your way. Thanks forever!

Ordered online, great selection, great quality, fast shipping! Will definitely buy from them again!read more

They do take off for spring break, Thanksgiving break, Christmas and New years. You do not get refunded for the weeks when they take these breaks. Also they started charging an additional class fee when there is a 5th week in a month that your child had class. In the past we were not subjected to this so it was kind of surprising when I saw this show up on our credit card bill without warning.

Miss Susanne at OC Music Center is an outstanding piano…read moreteacher for kids and adults, beginners through advanced. She's been teaching in Orange County since 1982 and really knows how to keep students motivated without being pushy. My family has seen kids who used to fight practice start looking forward to lessons, and adults who thought they were "too late" actually progress. Clear instruction, good musicianship, and she does in-home lessons which is a huge plus. Highly recommend for anyone in RSM / South OC.

Beyond being a fantastic piano teacher, she brings such a warm, positive energy to every lesson. My daughter has been taking weekly classes with her, and her progress and confidence have been phenomenal. I cannot recommend Ms. Susanne highly enough to any parent looking for a patient, and highly skilled instructor.

We had a poor experience from start to end unfortunately…read more I had called and left three voicemails over the span of two weeks, different days and different times. I never got a call back, and I decided to try once more where I finally got someone and booked a session. (Our other local music school was relocating farther from us, and my daughter really wanted lessons.) Our lessons were.. okay. They didn't always start promptly and they were usually in tiny, hot rooms big enough for one small folding chair (plus instrument and standing student with teacher). We tried it out for a couple months and it was not for us. When canceling, they assured me it would be okay, but of course they continued to charge us the following months. I called, and again no return messages. I called again, spoke to someone and they said James would call me back, but not a word since two weeks ago. I had to dispute the charges with my card, but save yourself the effort I went through and seek lessons elsewhere.

Terrible cuatomer service. Called to get information on guitar strings, was quoted 8.99 and said…read morethey had it in stock, sounded good so I drove to the store. They did not have the brand that they quoted me the price on in stock and only had another brand that was around double the price quoted. Also the price of the strings they were trying to sell me was priced much higher than retail. Needless to say I will never go back.

Tim's OC conveniently provides piano, vocal, and strings lessons, instrument repairs and parts…read morereplacements, has a large selection of books for students. The owner, Tim, is a great guy. He will give you honest, practical advice for lessons and is available for repairs via appointment. Did your guitar string snap? They have phosphorus bronze strings, too. Whether you need a soft gauge string or are need more responsiveness strings, you can buy them individually. They even sell entire guitars! Or the kids can take home a starter ukulele in glittery blue or pink. The floors got a major upgrade and match warmly with the new blue walls! The have a waiting room for the kids providing siblings with chapter books, coloring pages, or pop-its. The kids love this spot! Finally the practice rooms look lovely and held a major upgrade too. It's an encouraging environment for the students to walk into, with great posters on the wall of : Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and more. Stop on buy for your music needs :)

Teachers are certified, and/or have music degrees! Flexible scheduling for lessons with make ups, rescheduling, and summer breaks. Tuition is month to month with no contracts.. which is perfect!!

In the front there is also a store where you can rent instruments for the school year, buy music books, strings, and a lot of other musical needs :) I would definitely recommend Tim's OC Music!! Has a family vibe & it's in a good location!!!

I told the lady in the front when I dropped it off that I wanted them cleaned, pads changed, and whatever else that needed to be done. They quoted me a week's work.

I literally told them I wanted everything done and for whatever else that needs to be done. Money is not an issue! It's like dropping your car off to get washed, oil change, brake changed and when you go pick your car up they're like here's your car. It's in working order. If cleaning and polish is not a part of the regular maintenance then offer that as a service add on! Ridiculous!

As soon as I walked into the store, a staff member greeted me and offered help--even though he…read morelooked busy handling some paperwork. He asked what I needed, and I explained that my acoustic guitar had a broken peg tuner. I already had the replacement part with me, so I handed it over. Instead of jumping straight into recommendations or upselling, he immediately tried to fix it on the spot. Once he confirmed it was repairable, he quickly cut the string, replaced the tuner, and got everything back in place. The whole process took less than 10 minutes! I live in Carson, so driving out to Lakewood and getting it fixed the same day was such a relief. This guitar isn't for professional use--it's for my daughter who's just starting to learn--so having it ready right away saved me a lot of time and hassle. He even tuned it by ear in seconds, which was really impressive. Overall, a smooth and pleasant experience. I really appreciated the quick, no-nonsense service and would definitely come back again for future repairs!
