About Gabe
Hi, I’m Gabe Toth, founder of Gabe Toth Music Academy. I have 30+ years of teaching experience, 86 five-star Google reviews, and a lifetime of real music experience as a teacher, performer, arranger, vocalist, pianist, guitarist, drummer, and music coach. I teach drums in a practical, musical, easy-to-understand way. My goal is to help students build real rhythm, better timing, stronger coordination, cleaner technique, and the confidence to play with actual music. Drum lessons should not feel like random exercises forever. I help students connect beats, fills, groove, counting, listening, and coordination directly to songs and real performance. I work with beginners, teens, adults, singers, songwriters, and musicians who want stronger rhythm and better musical feel. Online drum lessons available worldwide. Free 20-minute evaluation available.

My drum lessons are supportive, practical, and fully customized to your level, goals, musical interests, and learning style. We can work on rhythm, groove, timing, coordination, hand technique, foot control, drum fills, transitions, counting, listening skills, playing with songs, and understanding how drums fit inside real music. Whether you are brand new or already playing, I will help you build stronger rhythm, cleaner control, better confidence, and a more musical approach to the drums. Lessons are great for beginners, adult students, teens, songwriters, singers, and musicians who want better timing and rhythm. You will not just learn patterns. You will learn how to feel music, hear time, understand groove, and play with more confidence. Button: Book a Free 20-Minute Evaluation

Gabe is an excellent teacher. He has patience and a clear understanding of what steps students need to take comfortably and effectively in order to become better musicians. I would recommend him for all ages.
Gabe is not just a master teacher, but one of the kindest, nicest people I've ever had the chance to work with. From the beginning, Gabe wanted to know what I wanted and needed, right then and long term, and tailored his teaching to help me feel that he was there to help me achieve my goals and that was the most important thing for him. Thank you, Gabe for the outstanding experience. You are now my vocal teacher and coach and I'd never look for anyone else.
I've been taking vocal lessons with Gabe for a year now. He has an incredible talent for music and is able to convey that clearly and concisely to his students. As an example, during our last lesson I sent him sheet music for a song that he'd never heard before. Without skipping a beat, he was able to sing the whole thing as if he'd known it for years! Because of this he's able to not only teach the instrument but also the deeper musical foundations within. I'd highly recommend his lessons to anybody!
Gabe is very patient and will work with you at whatever pace is comfortable for you. Our 5 year old daughter has been with him just for a couple of months and he is so good with her! I highly recommend Gabe for all your lessons.
Gabe is an excellent instructor! My 11 year old son enjoys his weekly lessons. It's been incredible to see his progression & confidence improve over the last few months. If you're looking for a personable, friendly, experienced instructor - we would highly recommend Gabe.
Mr. Gabe (as me and my daughter know Gabe) is a wonderful teacher. My 7yr old was unsure before she started music because she was a little shy and she was intimidated by having to practice so get great. However, Mr. Gabe has planned a perfect course for her to learn at her speed. She enjoys the remote lessons on Saturdays, and even after a busy week, on Fridays. I've communicated with Mr. Gabe how my daughter is feeling on occasion and he rises to the challenge of teaching a temperamental but loving and curious 7yr old girl. I definitely recommend Mr. Gabe.
Gabe is a fantastic piano teacher! Because of his background and multi-instrumental talents, he is able to help me understand how to play and read based on my background playing guitar and bass. I really appreciate the fact that after getting through some initial beginner book lessons, he made sure that I was able to start learning how to play music I am interested in, and he continually checks in to make sure there aren't other songs I want to tackle. Thank you, Gabe!
My shy 9-year-old daughter has been taking voice lessons for about a year. Over the course of the time she's been working with Mr. Gabe, I've seen her confidence blossom and it's been beautiful to see. His belief in her and her ability has influenced her to adopt the same belief in herself. She's improved exponentially, not only musically, but academically and socially. Such a great experience and very highly recommended.
Gabe Toth is a highly accomplished professional musician with decades of experience teaching lessons to young and old, on a wide range of instruments as well as vocals. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Gabe and can personally vouch for his character. Gabe is patient and kind, and makes learning a fun experience. I highly recommend Gabe as an instructor for music lessons.
Gabe is a fun and easy going teacher who loves music and works to adapt his teaching style to the students needs. I have been with him for a few months and have been seeing much improvement in my skills. I like that he can switch between being very methodical but also switching things up a bit and making things fun and exciting.
The finest teacher I have ever had. Truly remarkable. Would highly recommend. Thank you Gabe for everything.
Integrity, intelligence, compassion, and passion. Quality’s, in my opinion, every teacher and professor should possess. Gabe emanates all four, simultaneously and brilliantly. Within moments of meeting Gabe his uniquely robust, happy and passionate persona will captivate you. Driving you towards your goal, making it an enjoyable journey through the process.
