Surf City Music School is a family-owned and operated small business in Huntington Beach, CA. We have experience teaching music lessons for over 10 years now, but only recently founded this music school. This change allowed us to teach new instruments, teach in new ways, and impact more students than ever before. Our goal is to shape well rounded musicians whether you are 6 or 60. In every student, music can have impacts on your brain including enhanced creativity and cognitive thinking. We believe that music has a great role to play in the next generation of kids. Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness, including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. It helps the body and the mind work together. For adults, music can help you combat memory loss and help with deteriorating dexterity.
All of our instructors are conservatory trained musicians. This means that they performed with top ensembles and groups at a nationally recognized Musical Performing Arts School. They also have extensive teaching experience working with students of all ages. All instructors at Surf City music school go through background checks. Most importantly, our founders have a strong connection to music education in general in Orange County. Multiple instructors taught music and piano classes in the Huntington Beach City School District. They taught at Smith Elementary School, Perry Elementary School, as well as Huntington Beach High School.

Whether you want to learn classical, pop, jazz, or any other style of music, our instructors can help you learn in a fun and personalized way! We have set goals that we believe every student should achieve, but we love nothing more than to dive deep into specific genres or styles of music that a student loves most.

We have been very happy with Surf City Music School. The staff have been flexible and accomodating with creating a schedule that works for siblings. We have two daughters attending, one with Sam for voice lessons and the other with Justin for guitar lessons. Both instructors have great personalities and are very motivating. They are knowledgeable in their content areas, as well as kind, patient, and passionate about our daughter's progress. Our daughter's look forward to their lessons each week!

I am impressed with how much my Granddaughter is in love with Surf City Music School. She has taken piano lessons elsewhere but they were always too regimented and boring for her to continue. The instructors at Surf City built a custom lesson format that has kept her interest in learning music alive and growing. She looks so forward to her weekly lessons now and I feel she will stick with the program thanks to the way that Surf City instructors teach. So thankful for having found these guys.

Glad we found this place. My son and daughter have been taking piano lessons with Sam for a few months now. I am so amazed at how well my kids have progressed under Sam's guidance especially considering how young they are and how easily distracted they can become. He is patient and friendly but does not allow them to walk all over him and goof off.
I like the environment that the school has created. It feels more personable than the bigger music schools. Their waiting area is clean and well kept with snacks, books, crafts, etc. The big selling point for me is how nice they are and how much they appreciate your business.

Found this gem on lessons.com. Received a quick response from Surf City Music School and set up our first lesson within the same week. Austin is an amazing instructor. He has such patience with our 5 year old who is learning to play the piano and is really accommodating with scheduling. We recently moved down to San Diego, but love SCMS so much that we continue to make the 1 1/2+ hour trip each way each week because of the staff, the environment and their affordability.

After the first drumming lesson with Austin, my 9yr old son was playing to an actual popular song! He loved it so much that he practiced without my prompting. My son has been excited to go to every lesson ever since he started at Surf City Music School! Austin is patient, knowledgeable, talented, friendly, listens to my son’s ideas, and makes each lesson fun!

This is a safe and fun musical learning environment. My daughter didn't have any prior experience but has learned so much within a few months. She is constantly practicing and really enjoys playing the piano. I love how Surf City is so flexible with their schedule lessons and if you miss a lesson, you can either take a credit or do a makeup session. Austin is quick to respond with any questions and provides great feedback.

Our boys have been taking lessons with Austin for a few months now and they've loved every minute of it. Especially in the midst of a pandemic, ways for them to safely interact with others has been tough and coming to SCMS has been a blessing. I feel they're safe and able to get an awesome musical instruction!

My daughter has been taking lessons from Austin for about 6 years. Austin has really taught our daughter so much and even prepared her for her school music program. Even through the pandemic and completing lessons virtually, he delivered excellent lessons. My daughter always looks forward to her lessons with ZERO complaints! :)

Our 7 year old son has been taking piano from Austin from Surf City Music School. We’ve been so impressed with what an excellent teacher he is. He’s patient and makes learning fun. He keeps our son on task and focused and every week our son is excited for his lessons! I would give 10 stars if I could.
