Testimonials
It truly is never too late to learn. As a mature student, I was excited but felt a bit overwhelmed at the prospect of learning. That changed at Orrett Music Academy. Everything is explained clearly and the music we are playing really takes me back. Bravo!
Michael D.

We have 3 children who all play piano. We had 3 teachers before being introduced to Dave Orrett of Orrett Music Academy; my children all say Dave is the best and the most fun teacher ever. He organizes recitals and is very encouraging and supportive of all his students.

I have learned so much more than I ever would without the Orrett Music Academy because Christian and the teachers are very helpful!
Adam C. R.

My favorite thing about this school is that you feel like there is no limit on your music. You can express your feelings in a way that sounds and feels so beautiful, that way is playing music! I’m very thankful. This school is one of the best things that happened to me.

I have learned a lot more when I started going to this music school. My piano teacher is very funny and it is fun going to piano lessons!
Carly C.

Dave and the staff at the Orrett Music Academy really go out of their way to make us feel at-home. They constantly ensure that we are involved in the process of learning which really personalizes the experience for our family. We started with one daughter taking piano lessons, then added my son on guitar, and now Mom (me) is taking voice lessons. I truly can’t say enough about my 4 years at OMA and tell my friends every chance I get.
