THE ARTS OPEN DOORS
Through The Arts, Community Rises …
ABOUT OC MUSIC & DANCE
Orange County Music & Dance is a non-profit performing arts school in Irvine, California where artists, educators, and students come together to grow talent and enrich lives. Our School of Music program (ages 4-18) develops artistic excellence through private lessons, musicianship group classes, ensembles, and performance opportunities. We believe that everyone should have access to the performing arts, which is why we offer a financial assistance program for the School of Music to families who may otherwise be unable to afford musical training.
OCMD’s community programs extend artistic opportunities to the greater Orange County community through our Recording Services, our Operation Gig program for US military veterans, as well as dance training through program partners Yaya Dance Academy and TOP Awards.
OUR MISSION
To nurture, inspire and empower Orange County’s youth to pursue their artistic dreams through outstanding instrumental and dance education, and provide a home for community members of all ages to advance their knowledge and appreciation of the arts.
OUR VISION
To be recognized as Orange County’s preeminent and indispensable community music and dance center which inspires thousands of community members each year to fulfill their passion and creative aspirations.
OCMD is a Steinway Select School
OCMD is proudly one of only a small handful of music schools designated in Orange County. We have 15 Steinway or Steinway-designed pianos, including a 9-ft Concert Grand Model D piano in our Black Box Theater, plus four additional grand pianos in various teaching studios.
