Born in Almaty, the capital city of the Soviet Kazakhstan, Oleg Lapidus started to play piano at the age of 11 and later decided to learn clarinet. He was accepted to Almaty Musical College (classical clarinet) and upon graduation - to Almaty State Pedagogical University (classical piano, vocal, conducting and teaching) and Almaty State Conservatoire (classical clarinet). After successfully graduating both of them with Masters Degree in Music he immigrated to Israel.
In Israel Oleg studied Jazz in Jerusalem Rubin Academy of Music (Jazz Piano – Nahum Perferkovich and Jazz Sax – Boris Gammer). He played with different Dixieland, Jazz and Jewish wedding bands and he taught clarinet and piano at Jerusalem School of Music.
He also had numerous appearances on TV in programme “7:40” as a musician, singer and an actor.

He became a student and follower of such key figures of Klezmer as David Krakauer, Merlin Shepherd, Frank London and Michael Alpert.
Now back in London Oleg Lapidus plays Gypsy Jazz in Quequmbar, Greek music with Greek function band ZOI, Klezmer with different Klezmer bands and solo with his backing tracks in clubs, hotels, live music bars and restaurants across England alongside teaching music.
"So, how you do laughing? First of all you have to learn how to bend a note or in other words - how to make a glissando down. Let’s split this technique into two simple exercises. (plays)" - continues his Laughing Clarinet Oleg Lapidus. Students of all levels from beginner to advanced are welcome to his music studio. One can master all the tricks of Klezmer clarinet at Oleg's lessons and spice up his folk, Klezmer and Jazz performance with the laughing effect as well start from scratch to play piano, saxophone or flute.
