About Us
At McCormick Music Lessons, our mission is simple:
Help people of all ages discover the joy, confidence, and lifelong benefits of playing music.
For years, students throughout Costa Mesa and the surrounding Orange County communities have trusted our school to provide the highest quality private music lessons in a fun, supportive, and inspiring environment.
Thanks to our incredible teachers and students, McCormick Music has become one of the most highly rated music schools in the Orange County area, with hundreds of families choosing us to start (or continue) their musical journey.
And now, we’re excited to bring that same experience to South Orange County with the opening of our new Laguna Hills music school.
Two Music Schools. One Standard of Excellence.
Our Costa Mesa location has been the heart of McCormick Music Lessons for years, helping hundreds of students grow from beginners into confident performers. Because of the overwhelming demand and success of our Costa Mesa students, we recently opened our second music school location in Laguna Hills to serve families throughout South Orange County.
Both music schools operate under the same philosophy:
- The same high-quality music instructors
- The same proven teaching methods
- The same supportive and fun learning environment
- The same performance opportunities for students
What Makes McCormick Music Lessons Unique
Lessons for Every Age & Skill Level
Our instructors tailor each lesson to the student's goals, helping them progress faster while keeping the learning process enjoyable and motivating. We work with complete beginners, kids and teens, adult learners, and advanced musicians looking to refine their skills.
Lots of Instruments to Choose From
Lessons are customized for each student, whether their goal is to play their favorite songs, perform on stage, join a band, or simply enjoy music as a lifelong hobby — guitar, piano, drums, singing, bass, ukulele, and music production.
Live Performance Opportunities
We focus on real musical performance experiences that help students build confidence, stage presence, and a true love for making music — from student showcases and community events to professional venues such as the House of Blues.
Orange County Community Built Around Music
Our students become part of a community of musicians who support and inspire each other. Through jam sessions, performances, and collaborative learning, students develop not only musical skills but also confidence, creativity, and friendships.
