We are a husband and wife team that have owned and operated our community music school in Leslieville since 2009. Michael is a professional drummer (he won best drum core in the World Pipe Band Championships in 2018) and also teaches drums at OTOB. Carissa is a professional jazz pianist and vibraphonist – read more about Carissa Neufeld. Their passion is to provide your child with a musical education taught by highly qualified musicians and music educators. They are very involved in the community and offer OTOB music students various opportunities to perform in the community. Look for our donations at your local school fundraising event or even some of our students performing at events such as Wanderlust! Call us at 647 343 7272 or e-mail us info@ontheoffbeat.ca.
