Meet Toby
BMus Music
Best module?
I really enjoyed the Introduction to Jazz Styles module I studied in second year, because part of it includes getting an original arrangement played and workshopped by the Jazz Orchestra. I loved having that opportunity that is going to be very rare outside of university.
What's the most underrated spot in Birmingham?
Cherry Red's - a really nice, central café with high profile jazz gigs in a slightly hidden room upstairs on Wednesdays.
What's one piece of advice you can share for incoming students?
Don't be afraid to say yes to lots of things - you are better off trying as much as possible when you start, and then you can cut it down once you've found what you really enjoy.
