Words from Our Community
"This is a long-term, worthwhile investment. It has an impact that extends beyond playing a musical instrument — you get to become part of a supportive community of music lovers who encourage each other to be better. The positivity and confidence building truly blends into other areas of your life."

"So much about OCoM sets it apart as a musical program of opportunity, but I suppose the heart of all the excellence is in the instructors. The more we take advantage of opportunities provided at OCoM, the more we work with various faculty and staff, and the more enriched and motivated our kiddos become. It's so exciting to watch."

"We've had such a fantastic experience with all of our teachers so far and have seen amazing results with our kids' playing ability. Both of my children have learned better hand position, note reading skills, and have improved in their overall musicianship since taking lessons at OCM."
