“Like the deep sound of the bass drum, Oliveira’s dedication resonates…as he leads the group…”

“Mr. Oliveira has been a mentor and a friend to me since I was in fourth grade. He is by far one of the best influences and inspirations I've had in my life due to the fact that he taught me just about everything I have grown to learn about music. I owe him the abilities and life experiences I have now which I am planning to take forward in my life.”

“When [rehearsal] was done, I wished it had gone on longer.”

“He was so inspired by his music. He hummed every day in the car…and I was in shock basically. I have even caught him with his headphones on listening to it over and over again. It was the first time I have ever heard him so involved with music...and aware of it!”

— Melissa S., parent of former clarinet student,
