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

Whether you visit us in Costa Mesa or Laguna Hills, you’ll experience the same level of professionalism, care, and passion for music education that our school is known for.
