Concerning Mr Toby Hanks:

In taking so many schools, does Mr Hanks have the ability to oversee the best interests of ALL his students. Will he be there for the juries, recitals, studio classes, etc. Will he be there when a student has a problem, and the only person that can take on the students cause is the studio instructor? Can a student contact and get a response in 24 hours? Does he have the time to put the tuba studio "on the map" of each of these schools? Can he operate at each school with the politics and budget needs one day a week.

I respect what Mr Hanks has accomplished in the past. His playing these days is marginal at best. He does not play in the lessons. He does not perform in NYC anymore.

Would you send a student into this situation?

I deeply regret posting this anon. I regret more what is happening to the studios of each of these schools....
