PIANO & VOICE

Olga Seibel's love for music started when she was 5 years old, and has grown into a great passion. She gained her sixteen-year music education while growing up in Russia, graduating from the Saint Petersburg conservatoire. Olga has enjoyed teaching children and adults piano and singing, immediately after completing her third year in the conservatoire. She has had seventeen years of teaching experience since then. She also worked as a singer for 4 years in Saint Petersburg Academic Chapel, performing soprano both as a member of chorus team and solo.

Her teaching methods include, along with piano and singing, all elements of musical grammar, theory, and art of performance. She believes that instead of simply teaching a student an instrument, the instructor should help the student to discover their own talents and boost creative development. This will allow the student to enjoy the art of expressing themselves through the music they play.

GUITAR & PIANO

 

Andrew Moses

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Andrew’s love for music was evident at the age of two. When Andrew was thirteen years old he began playing guitar with a little help from his father Eric. Eric, an old time blues guitar player who jammed with the likes of Joey Walsh from The Eagles, knew exactly what direction he wanted his son to bend towards.  Music from artists such Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd and Hendrix was his forte’.  Andrew on the other hand at that time listened to artists like Pearl Jam and Nirvana. That gentle nudge from his father seemed to have done the trick.  Andrew began to study 6 and 7-string classical guitar as well as piano in which Chopin and Bach were the main forces.  In fact, Andrew so took to Chopin’s music that he composed 6 Nocturnes for Solo Guitar.  Andrew was always acutely enamored with the great masters even to this day. 

 

 

Andrew Moses had released 3 CD’s along with the way, “Complete Classical Guitar Solos 2000-2005”, “Remnants” and “When Pigs Fly” A Tribute to the mark of Pink Floyd”. 

 

Andrew Moses’ latest release “Mosely” continues down the path where the last CD left him.  His single “Love and War” is a raw and introspective piece written as a self-portrait describing his life and experiences at that particular time.  It is a raw acoustic based piece, which has all the makings of a movie such as excitements, drama, darkness and hope.

 

One common thread that runs through his compositions is typically a dark or grey side - a deep inner scavenging of one’s soul.  He does this with great skill and ability and delivers dramatic and complex pieces that audiences love to hear. 

 

“Mosely” and the previous 3 CD’s are available on iTunes, as well as all the major digital music storefronts.  You can listen to and/or purchase music from these 4 CD’s by logging onto the following websites:

DRUMS & PERCUSSION

Sean Holmes has been playing drums and percussion since 2001 and enjoys teaching private lessons.

I am well versed in playing all forms of drum kits and orchestral drums (including teaching both matched and traditional grips), as well as xylophone/bells/marimba, steel pan drums, hand drums (bongos, djembes, etc.), and other forms of auxiliary percussion instruments. I teach several different musical styles, including but not limited to: Classical, Jazz, Rock n' Roll, Reggae, Latin rhythms, Electronica/Techno, New Orleans drumming, Blues, and Hip Hop.

I am more than willing to work with school band instructors on their pre-established curricula as well as developing a unique curriculum of my own for each student based on their strengths and needs. I am currently playing drums for a band called We're All Virus. We are in the process of producing a full length album with Evan Coffman of Starlight Studios, and are currently seeking national record label recognition.

We're All Virus - "My Confusion"

Sean attended Florida Gulf Coast University, with a major in Psychology a minor in Philosophy.
