Toby has been teaching my 10 year old now 11 years since the beginning of the. year. He is a consummate professional with a passion and unique ability for what he does. His passion is infectious and my son always looks forward to his lessons with much excitement. I'm just amazed at how quickly he had him playing beautiful pieces. Absolutely brilliant teacher!
