Sean-
I studied with Toby for 3 years while in school at Manhattan School of Music. I can't say enough about Toby's teaching. Toby approaches his teaching first and foremost from a musical standpoint, resorting to discussion of what physically happens as a secondary thing.
His inate musicianship is something that ANY musician can learn from and his exuberance for music and people alike makes for a very enjoyable experience.
Toby is very much a "regular guy" and this makes for an easy chemistry between teacher and student.
I can't recommend studying with him highly enough.
