About Toby

- What kind of experience do you have?

For the past academic year, I held the position of Composer in Residence at Jersey College for Girls. During this role, I worked with A-Level and GCSE students on their compositions and ran a popular series of composition and songwriting workshops. I have also taught at Victoria College and the Jersey Academy of Music, and recently worked as a Music Mentor on the St Anne's College Advanced Musicianship Programme, a joint venture between Oxford University and Oxfordshire County Youth Music Service, tutoring teenagers from across the county.

Away from tutoring, I am an award-winning composer of music for theatre, film and the concert hall. I am also active as a musical director, orchestrator and arranger. I have worked with composers including Eric Whitacre, Howard Blake and Stuart Brayson (From Here To Eternity), and my music has been performed across the UK by ensembles including the BBC Singers and the Cavaleri Quartet.

As a pianist, I won the PwC Young Musician of the Year Competition on piano in 2011 and have performed as a soloist with the Jersey Symphony Orchestra. I was a Music Scholar at St Anne's College, Oxford on the strength of my piano performance, and have performed as a soloist and chamber musician at venues including the Holywell Music Room and Jacqueline du Pré Concert Hall in Oxford. I regularly accompany instrumental and vocal soloists and ensembles, and am confident at sight-reading and improvisation. My experience at piano has led to a number of compositions for the instrument, from technically difficult works for professional performers, to works for younger pianists, including pieces for my own students. I studied piano with Sholto Kynoch (Director of the Oxford Lieder Festival) and Christopher George.

I am a patient and professional tutor, with wide-ranging experience across many different styles of music, and a flexible approach to suit the individual needs of each student. I am equally at home teaching beginners and advanced students.

I regularly tutor piano and theory (to grade 8), and composition and academic music (GCSE, A-Level and undergraduate degree level). I can also offer top-up sessions in aural and sight-reading to supplement regular piano lessons with another teacher, and interview and application preparation for students intending to study music at university.

I hold a First Class Honours degree in Music from the University of Oxford, and a Distinction in Grade 8 Piano. I am about to start studying for a Masters in Composition at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

- How much do you charge?

My standard rate is £30-40/hr depending on the subject and level.

- Where do you teach?

I am available to teach at students' homes, or for non-instrumental tuition, lessons can take place at a mutually convenient location (eg. a coffee shop). I am happy to travel across London to teach.

- When are you available?

My teaching times are flexible and I can work around a student's needs, whether it be weekdays, weekends or evenings.

- Which ages and levels do you teach?

I teach all ages and levels, from beginner to advanced, instrumental or academic music tuition, and university preparation (eg. Oxbridge).
