OC Lessons

Miss Mandy is a fantastic teacher and is so very talented! I spent 6 months with her and am so thankful to be able to play beautiful songs now. She is very patient, kind and knowledgable with a great sense of humor. I highly recommend her lessons. She makes learning piano fun and not strict and scary. ;) I will definitely take lessons with her again.

Miss Mandy is a hidden gem! A bit of a freespirit — zaney enough to catch my children’s attention & respect but professional enough to keep them in line. She takes no bull in her lessons! She has a relaxed approach to practicing, but expect to be put to work when she is there.
We decided to change teachers when my children were relentlessly bugging me to quit. We thought we’d check into trying a teacher who was not so much. How do you say?. By the book? Miss Mandy let us know that the ups and downs were an unavoidable part of the process and that the issue was not necessarily the teachers fault. While we loved our last teacher, I think there is something to be said for finding the right match. It’s still like pulling teeth trying to get my children (11 year old girl, 14 year old boy) to practice, but there is a lot less whining about the lessons.
OC Lessons/​Miss Mandy (as we know her) has a unique program. They are still in the method books, but not so many at once, and they also get to learn how to play the popular music they enjoy and can show off to their friends. Not to mention the album program is just brilliant! I now have two albums fully created by my children that we can send to relatives or keep as mementos. Just awesome!

I started taking piano lessons from Mandy since January of 2015 and i knew nothing about music prior. I meet with her once a week for one hour and in the course of just 7 months i have accelerated tremendously from her special technique of teaching. I am amazed by what once a week with her has done for me. She is very positive and a great support booster for when you just want to give up. I recommend anyone to go to her who would like to play piano! And a great rebound if you have had a bad experience with prior teachers, go see mandy!

Miss Mandy is a great teacher. My son has taken lessons from her for about 3 years. She adapts her teaching style to fit each students personal style and keeps it fun and educational. I highly recommend OC Lessons to people of all ages.
