Having started playing at 3 years old, Oli found his passion for drumming at a very young age. Largely self- taught, his first public performance was whilst he was in Primary School, and since then he has added guitar, bass, piano and voice to his growing list of instruments.
Oli began teaching music privately at 16 years old whilst working in a local music shop in Stoke which after a short time closed down. This gave Oli the nudge he needed to branch out on his own and start ODM. Oli soon acquired a private client base of over 50 students and even more through his peripatetic teaching in schools which he’s now done for over 15 years. Music has always been an enormous part of his life, and ODM is an extension of himself in sharing his love of music with people of all ages.
Specialising in funk as a style, Oli is an experienced performer and has played in all manner of bands for all kinds of purposes: jazz bands, funk bands, cover bands, function bands, weddings, corporate events, and also playing for gigs overseas. Oli’s major inspiration comes from The Killers and their drummer, Ronnie Vannucci Jr and enjoys inspiring his students with the same love and passion that Ronnie performs with.
ODM encompasses everything that Oli loves about music: excellent performance; accessibility for everyone; and growing a passion for music of all genres.
Steve has been a keen guitar player from a young age. He found a fascination in the instrument through an upbringing of Rock & Metal music. Once he got to grips with the basics, it was a case of taking his new found skills to the next level. Having played in various local bands for a number of years, it wasn’t until 2013 that he found solace in metal outfit ‘I Am Pariah’ who he presently plays and composes for.
After years of being self taught, Steve realised that developing his musicality would require guidance and knowledge from tutors that understood his future vision. He quickly acquired his Rockschool grades and achieved Grade 8 within the current syllabus. Alongside the Rockschool grades, he believed that learning ABRSM music theory would be beneficial to his playing, as well as being able to understand the language of music in a better context; and so, also completed his music theory up to grade 5. Taking these grades has helped round him, not only a guitar player, but a musician in general.
Steve is currently teaching in several high schools in and around Stoke-on-Trent, as well as privately for ODM, with students ranging from school age to retirement, Steve’s ethos is that anyone can play guitar if they put their mind to it. You are never too old to start, no matter what genre you are into, so don’t be afraid to give it a try – focus on your goals!
Joe started to learn the drums at Primary School when he was 8 years old and was immediately hooked. He learnt from two of the most renowned Staffordshire drummers at the time, Paul Murfin and Ken Adams. Both of whom had huge experience as working drummers and they both had huge influence on him. He was taught in all styles, various technical and motion concepts and how to read notation.
Using the skills he had gained from both teachers, Joe gained an unconditional offer to study Professional Musicianship BA (Hons) at the British Institute of Modern Music in Manchester, without any grades, after impressing at his audition. Here he studied hard under the great tutelage of many teachers – most fondly, Luke Flowers in his Jazz Module (The Cinematic Orchestra, Bill Laurence and Corrine Bailey Rae).
Joe has varying musical influences, but he takes most inspiration from the multi faceted language of Jazz drummers. He adores the greats such as Tony Williams and Elvin Jones. Even more so, he listens to modern players who blend jazz improvisation with other musical language such as Chris Dave, Mark Colenburg, Henry Cole and Richard Spaven.
Throughout his study and since graduating, Joe has performed in varying scenarios. His highlights include working in house band onboard a cruise ship, recording in a television studio at Media City in Salford, performing across the UK in various festivals (Edinburgh/Manchester/Congleton Jazz Fest, Solfest and Equinox Festival), and also got a four page feature in Prog Magazine with original project Trojan Horse. He continues to work in several original and function projects as often as he can to hone his craft and cannot wait to share what knowledge he has with ODM students.
Jay began classical guitar lessons at the age of 10 and went on to do ABRSM grades, which culminated in achieving a degree in Music and Philosophy at Keele Unversity. Notwithstanding the classical education Jay’s passion was always for rock and pop music. On leaving University Jay gigged and recorded in a number of gothic, doom and death metal bands.
In 2008 Jay began teaching guitar privately and went on a mission to further diversify her musical abilities, branching into jazz, improvisation, bass guitar, ukulele and drums. This lead to her achieving 3 Grade 8’s, in classical guitar (ABRSM), improvising electric guitar (LCM) and bass guitar (LCM).
Jay started teaching at ODM in 2019 and plays guitar, bass and occasionally drums in a variety of professional and semi-professional bands.
An internationally acclaimed opera singer, Oleg Loza combines 13 years of experience as a teacher with 19 years of classical music training.
Oleg started his musical journey as a pianist at Moscow Muradeli Music School, then graduated from Gnesin College as a choir conductor and received a Master’s Degree in opera singing and voice teaching from Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatoire.
Oleg made his professional debut on the stage of the Vienna Chamber Opera which was followed by principal roles at Zurich Opera House, Het Compagnie theater in Amsterdam, Trieste Opera, Nancy Opera and others.
Oleg has a strong media presence in his home country. In 2018 he was the finalist in “Success”, a voice competition on the main TV channel. He was also on the judges panel in the Russian adaptation of “All Together Now!”
Oleg’s teaching expertise is recognised internationally. In 2015-2016 he gave masterclasses at Richard Wagner Conservatoire in Vienna, Austria. In 2019 Oleg was the head of the jury at the International Voice and Choir Competition “The City of Stars” in Moscow, Russia.
Oleg’s students have performed on major operatic and concert stages. His educational methods are based on simple explanations, a flexible approach to each individual and inspirational performance.
Samantha began classical piano lessons at the age of three, and completed all eight ABRSM grades by the age of twelve. As a child, she regularly competed in music festivals, and performed at recitals both professionally nationwide, and at her school.
After completing her diploma, Samantha began teaching privately at the age of sixteen, and joined various rock, alternative and blues bands throughout the following years playing keyboards, cello, guitar and synth.
Alongside her role at ODM, Samantha is working as a professional pianist for weddings and other events, as well as playing in a seven-piece band, and writing, producing and singing her own material.
Samantha has an extremely eclectic musical taste, and is particularly passionate about romantic-classical, alternative rock, grunge and folk. She thoroughly enjoys her work here at ODM, and hopes to continue to progress in her musical ability on the piano and other instruments.

🥳 CONGRATULATIONS ORAN GIBSON! 🥳
🎶 Our Student of the Month for October! 🎶
At just six years old, Oran has already jumped into the world of guitar with amazing enthusiasm! Seen here with Oli and his teacher Steve during our Rock and Treat week, Oran has shown a natural ability to listen, learn, and jam along with impressive focus and spirit. He`s already mastering riffs from his favourite rock and heavy metal bands, sounding fantastic along the way! 😎
Oran recently took his passion for guitar even further by dressing up as his idol, Slash, for Scarefest—and watching Sum 41 live earlier in the week! Not only that, but he’s so dedicated that he arrives early to sneak in 15 extra minutes of practice before every lesson. Now that`s commitment!
Keep up the hard work, learning, smiling, and rocking out Oran. 😁🎸
Congratulations as well to this month`s incredible nominees! You all make choosing a winner so challenging, and we couldn’t be prouder. Keep up the amazing work! 💙☺️

🎶Our Student of the Month Winner for September🎶
We’re excited to announce our first-time winners this month, with Theo leading the way in his debut nomination—and edging out his dedicated teacher, Oleg, by a hair! It’s official, Theo’s growth this month is on more than just the piano keys! 😄
Theo has shown an outstanding commitment to the piano, significantly increasing his practice time and elevating his skills to new heights. His parents are even considering upgrading to a more advanced keyboard, recognizing his incredible progress and growing passion for music.
Theo’s understanding of musical notation has deepened remarkably, and his ability to grasp complex concepts has been truly impressive. His enthusiasm during lessons is unmatched—he’s always eager for more challenging material and continually pushes himself to improve. This month, Theo has set a new standard for excellence! 😎
Congratulations to all of this month’s nominees. It was another tough decision, which is exactly what we like! You’re all doing so well—keep it up! 💙☺️

🥳 CONGRATULATIONS TO THEO ZUZU! 🥳
🎶Our Student of the Month Winner for September🎶
We’re excited to announce our first-time winners this month, with Theo leading the way in his debut nomination—and edging out his dedicated teacher, Oleg, by a hair! It’s official, Theo’s growth this month is on more than just the piano keys! 😄
Theo has shown an outstanding commitment to the piano, significantly increasing his practice time and elevating his skills to new heights. His parents are even considering upgrading to a more advanced keyboard, recognizing his incredible progress and growing passion for music.
Theo’s understanding of musical notation has deepened remarkably, and his ability to grasp complex concepts has been truly impressive. His enthusiasm during lessons is unmatched—he’s always eager for more challenging material and continually pushes himself to improve. This month, Theo has set a new standard for excellence! 😎
Congratulations to all of this month’s nominees. It was another tough decision, which is exactly what we like! You’re all doing so well—keep it up! 💙☺️
