About
Gabe Toth's rich and varied musical life began early as a major soloist in a boys choir, and he was playing church organ professionally at age 11. He attended the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Arts and graduated from the Berklee College of Music in Boston. In addition to his classical training in voice, piano, and organ, Gabe plays and teaches both jazz and rock and has added guitar, bass, and drum kit to the array of instruments he plays. He has 35 years of performance experience as a show band pianist, entertainer, vocalist, arranger, and orchestrator in a wide array of settings including touring companies, cruise lines, theatre and colleges.
I get to pass on what was given to me. The joy and gift of playing music. See www.gabetothmuzakinstruction.com
