Oliver's been a voice and guitar teacher for 15 years. He works with children, teens and adults alike, utilizing an intuitive approach. There’s a strong emphasis on the goals of his students; whether they’re looking to perform live, learn a favorite lick, or develop a style all their own. 

Vocally Oliver specializes in pop, rock and country, as these genres comprise the bulk of his artistic background. He likes to focus on the mechanics of live performance,  bringing twenty-five years’ experience on stages across three continents. From the practical ins-and-outs of preparation (creating a gear checklist, developing a pre-show routine, etc.), to dealing with backstage jitters to moment-by-moment problem-solving techniques, Oliver delves into the psychology of the live experience. 

For younger students, Oliver scales down these principles of musicianship and live performance to basic concepts tailored in a child-friendly and fun manner.

In addition to one on one instruction, Oliver runs creative music and theatre workshops with his wife as part of their LambLion Ministries.

Oliver teaches via practical application, rather than with the aid of workbooks. By doing so, he allows for every student to learn according to their individual needs. His belief is that a relaxed mindset is the foundation upon which one builds a spellbinding live performance, so for those students who are so inclined, he makes it his priority.

"I had always wanted to sing live but had missed the opportunity growing up. During our lessons, Oliver helped me rehearse two-part vocal lines for two songs, which culminated in a live performance at a well-known Toronto music club." - Misha Allard, Toronto/New York based actress and singer
