I was recently honored as a Best of 2015 winner on Thumbtack.com for my excellent service reviews over the last year at my studio in Sudbury. Thank You very much to all that have taken the time to review my teaching abilities, and your experiences here. I look forward to many more years of great lessons with all of you!

Studio is up and running
I recently built a studio in my home in Sudbury. Its been a dream of mine for quite a while, to have a place of my own to teach, record, and jam. Big thanks to RJ Development for the work they did on the room to soundproof and renovate. Time to get started!

Where Can I Hear You?
Many of my students have asked me about my performances. Mostly these days my focus is on my band Vibrant. We're some of Boston's best going into our seventh season performing at weddings and events throughout New England. Find out more here.

239d ago I recently picked up a drum kit at a garage sale hoping the kids would take an interest. No such luck! I decided not to let it go to waste and started lessons with Justin Oliver. I could not be happier. My goal is to have fun learning something new and challenging...so far so good. Justin keeps things engaging and interesting and has an easy going positive nature. His love for the drums is infectious and he encourages you to expand your musical knowledge as well. He is a fantastic teacher!
