Toby is in his first year at ANAM studying under Colin Prichard. Before coming to ANAM Toby completed a Bachelor of Music with Honours degree at the University of Melbourne studying trombone under Professor Don Immel, and earlier, a Bachelor of Music at the University of Tasmania studying under David Robins.
With a love for performing orchestral music, Toby has previously had opportunities to perform alongside the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, the Australian Youth Orchestra and the University of Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Of these experiences he has most enjoyed performing ballet suites of Stravinsky and Prokofiev.
Toby also enjoys performing both in chamber ensembles and as a soloist. In particular he seeks out opportunities to play in brass-based chamber ensembles and to perform pieces with unconventional instrumentation and in terms of solo performance he loves playing works for unaccompanied trombone.
In his free time Toby enjoys following YouTube and internet rabbit holes, so that he can become better at knowing only a little bit about a lot of things.
