Feedback For Toby (4)

From an adult learner`s perspective, Toby is easy to get along with and conveys his subject with confidence. Sibelius was a mystery but is now accessible as Toby teaches in easy to understand, manageable chunks with added musical insights on composition.

Toby came in late in the day to help my son with his GCSE music and was of great help to him both academically and with his confidence. He`s an excellent tutor and I`d highly recommend him!
