WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2013 by Dr. Angelika Machnik-Jones, Oklahoma Conservatory of Music is a music school that leads people toward a lifelong engagement with music by providing high quality music teaching and performing activities, and harnessing the power of music to educate, inspire and bring comfort to the community it serves. Our overall vision consists of a multi-dimensional approach to music education, with various musical offerings enhancing private study of an instrument. OCM faculty are all professional performers, highly educated in music, and experienced teachers. OCM is passionate about the value of music for all people and is committed to providing every student with a comprehensive music education and a path to lifelong learning. OCM believes that music is an essential element of a strong, well-educated, and compassionate community, music bolsters the brain, strengthens community bonds and nourishes the human spirit.
The goal of OCM is simple - to make aspiring young people be the best musicians they can be. In order to achieve this, OCM provides a comprehensive music education that includes private study with artist faculty, chamber music, chamber orchestra, solfege and theory classes, and frequent enrichment offerings. Our Conservatory students are given many performance opportunities through recitals, community concerts, masterclass performances and studio class performances.
As students move through the OCM experience, we ask them to keep these ideas at the forefront of their minds:
to be the most inquisitive musician
to be the most articulate musician
to be the most technically polished musician
to be able to move any audience for whom they play
