Student Reviews

• “Olivier is very patient and understanding. He really helps me get from where I am to where I want to be. Lessons are helpful and focused on my specific issues. He has lots of tips for how to practice anything!” - Janine Alden

• "Olivier is patient, knowledgeable and is willing to tell you about many fun facts about music. Learning with Olivier is fun and exciting." - Ben Li (age 10)

• "Olivier has without a doubt helped my daughter improve in ways that I (as a former French Horn player) could not. He is patient and pleasant as well as intelligent. Most importantly he has given my daughter the necessary tools she's needed. He doesn't just say "play higher" or "do it again". Instead he tells her exactly HOW she can get better and exactly WHAT techniques she needs to do to improve. I have seen a noticeable difference in 8 lessons and look forward (to) her future success with Olivier." - DJ Shimick

• “Fantastic instructor. There are not sufficient superlatives to describe his musicianship, patience, dedication, commitment, and ability to share his enthusiasm for this wonderful instrument.” - Denise Dixon

• “Our son has been taking Horn lessons from Mr. Olivier for a year and a half (our son has only been playing horn for that amount of time) and loves it. Olivier doesn't just teach notes, he always takes care to foster musicality in our son. He has supported and helped our son prepare for All-Districts and Youth Symphony auditions where our son has secured first chair in both. We truly believe our son would not be this successful without Mr. Olivier's guidance. If you are interested in growing musically while mastering this beautiful instrument, he is the teacher for you! Always finding new pieces, and warm-up exercises to keep our son excited! Thank you Mr. Olivier" - Chantal Regin
