Private Lessons

If you are interested in learning the vibraphone, I would be happy to assist you in your journey! I’ve taught total newcomers, experienced hobbyists, students who intend to have a career in music, and everything in between. As such, I understand that everyone’s goals and reasons for playing music are different. The lessons can be whatever you want them to be, but here are some topics I often address:

  • 4-mallet technique

  • dampening and pedaling

  • improvisation

  • chord voicing

  • repertoire

  • solo-vibraphone playing

I hold a Bachelor of Music from Temple University and have given vibraphone clinics at PASIC, World Vibes Congress, and various university percussion programs. Lessons can be over zoom or in-person around Philadelphia.

  • "Lessons are definitely a highlight of my week! Oliver is great about picking up what I already knew and expanding on it. Every week I come away learning something new and useful."

  • "Oliver is not only a good vibes player, but also a brilliant piano player, so he transfers the piano stuff to vibes very well. I love it and he is leading me in this direction as well. He also opens my mind and gives me new ideas to solve problems. He is a great teacher."

    - Rupert (Shenzhen, China)

  • "Oliver's very patient and versatile in his teaching. If you want a quality lesson at any skill level, his lessons are where it's at."
