The entity known as Heart & Stone was originally formed by singer, songwriter and driving force, Tony Anton in the fall of 1989. During the next seven years, Heart & Stone performed relentlessly both as opening acts and Headliners to thousands of faithful fans. The energy and experience cultivated during this time was captured on the groups first CD entitled 'Eternity'. Eternity was well received by radio stations both in Canada and Europe. The video for the song 'Ocean Blue' was also put into rotation by Much Music.
My name is Olaf, I am a professional musician/teacher that majored in performance and composition in University. I had the opportunity to perform at well known music festivals where we opened for artists like Tom Cochrane, Great Big Sea, Hey Rosetta, Gandharvas, Holly McNarland and The Pursuit of Happiness.
I started teaching in 2002 students of all ages, as early as 4 years to 65+ old. The goal is to provide a flexible and patient yet passionate environment, where students are gently challenged in order to develop well rounded musical and instrumental skills.
The electronic studio is equipped with a pro Yamaha electronic drum-set, electric piano which means it can be synchronized to a laptop or handheld device for the purpose of playing along to songs, empty tracks or a metronome. In this way the student has access to their music via cd/mp3/usb/internet.
