I am a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist based in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. My music is based in pop and draws from rock, folk, and jazz. For most of my career, I have been known as a saxophonist.
I has played many genres of music: choirs, guitar rock, funk, rhythm and blues, big band jazz, Latin, classical saxophone, folk, hard-bop, medieval, electroacoustic music, and musical theatre pit orchestras. My career highlights include working for Carnival Cruise Lines and with various tributes to Billy Joel, Elton John, Tina Turner and Bob Seger.
I am continuing to grow, and believe that I have finally found my own style. Using the nylon string guitar as a foundation, I augment live shows with saxophone, flute, and other instruments he plays. I cover a variety of music suitable for easy-listening environments. A recent addition is a drum machine (or live drummer and bassist) for dance sets.
The Peterborough Symphony Orchestra. For over 45 years, a cultural cornerstone of the Peterborough community and a reputation as one of the finest community orchestras in Canada.
My name is Olaf, I am a professional musician/teacher that majored in performance and composition in University. I had the opportunity to perform at well known music festivals where we opened for artists like Tom Cochrane, Great Big Sea, Hey Rosetta, Gandharvas, Holly McNarland and The Pursuit of Happiness.
I started teaching in 2002 students of all ages, as early as 4 years to 65+ old. The goal is to provide a flexible and patient yet passionate environment, where students are gently challenged in order to develop well rounded musical and instrumental skills.
The electronic studio is equipped with a pro Yamaha electronic drum-set, electric piano which means it can be synchronized to a laptop or handheld device for the purpose of playing along to songs, empty tracks or a metronome. In this way the student has access to their music via cd/mp3/usb/internet.
