Personal Description:
"TEACHING INTRO VIDEO" (**Web Address Removed**)
I've recently graduated from the Royal Welsh College of Music in 2020 with a Masters degree in Jazz. Under the tuition of Steve Waterman, Paula Gardiner, Huw Warren, Iain Ballamy and Ant Law to name a few. During this time I performed regularly at the weekly College's Jazz Time events and gigged at a variety of locations throughout Cardiff with my band Ollie and Friends.
I am able to organise trumpet hire for those without a trumpet.
I am experienced in Jazz and Classical trumpet styles, my performance opportunities include: recording at Abbey Road Studios, performing live on ITV's "This Morning", performed with functions bands at the English Heritage Festival, guest soloist at private functions, Street Orchestra of London and many more.
Tutoring Experience:
I teach trumpet, trombone, French horn both in schools and privately.
I tailor my teaching towards the individual and develop strategies for my students to firstly become stronger musicians, but also to overcome their either technical or musical boundaries. For example, introducing the students to alternative approaches to overcome the technical and physical aspects of playing the trumpet, alongside introducing the students to listen to an array of music and musicians to overcome and broaden their musical boundaries.
I currently teach my students in person and via Zoom call, for those unable to meet in person.
Tutoring Approach:
I use many different approaches within my teaching. Catering for as many different learning styles as possible.

Ollie's Feedback
Total Amount Of Feedback: | 3 |
Total Positive Feedback: |
I'm eager to regain my technique and learn how to improvise. Ollie was taught by Steve Waterman whose Jazz Method book has been my trumpet bible for years so we're exactly on the same page.
He is helping me to make all the small adjustments that I need to make to get my notes centred and improve my tone. I couldn't ask for a better tutor because he understands exactly what I want to achieve and everything he asks me to do produces the result I'm looking for.
Ollie knows my capabilities and is getting the all important basics in place so I know that, even though I have a long way to go with his help, I will become a confident player.
I recommend Ollie 100%.
