In this 2013 interview pulled from the archives, Juilliard viola faculty member Toby Appel shares insights on practicing, teaching, and some of the things he's been grateful for over the course of his career. NOTE: This was recorded way back before I had the sort of gear that's necessary for this sort of thing, so the audio quality isn't great, and you can hear kids playing outside. If possible, I'd recommend listening along to the transcript, which you can access here:  Toby Appel: On Learning to Trust Yourself

Toby Appel: On Learning to Trust Yourself

Toby Appel was actually Kai's very first guest on Skip the Repeat. Toby and Kai talk about growing up on a chicken farm in New Jersey (12:12), quitting high school and the Curtis Institute of Music in succession (25:30), and how he first became interested in cooking (39:12). They also discuss his mindset of not being too attached to things (45:42) and his many interests and how those play into his music career (53:04).
