He's a great teacher: encouraging, but also knows when and how to critique and not discourage a beginner. Makes sure it is challenging, but not overwhelming. Encyclopedic knowledge of jazz and music theory. Definitely recommend!

"I've been studying with Debi Toni for the past month and it's a wonderful experience. I've seen consistent growth and development. Her expertise is powerful. She's able to detect when I need to be pushed further. Also, she gives great analogies and metaphors to help me understand vocal range and instantly improve my vocal skills. Toni is a vocal scientist. I've learned so much about music and singing because of her long history in the industry. In addition, Toni is a lovely person and a pleasure to work with! Singers at any level wanting to go the next should definitely reach out to Debi Toni."

Joe recently came to us to teach our twin sons, beginners and age 6.5. On his first visit he got them excited about piano and learning and was able to teach them concepts they grasped immediately. He has the gift to encourage to do well in a playful but firm way that speaks to kids. I highly recommend his teaching approach and we look forward to continuing instructions with him.
