Toby Purser and I had a wonderful chat, as I knew it would be. We had a particularly "deep dive" into teaching and every aspect of what that entails.
I discovered that his love of opera started after a stint conducting in prison, I also learned how a chance meeting with an elderly gentleman changed his musical life, and Toby used an English phrase in this interview that frankly I was surprised nobody else had used in the previous 136 episodes!
