Music education in Westchester will never be the same again!
A little background. A BIG change.
There is no shortage of music schools in Westchester, NY. With a thriving community of music lovers who recognize the need for educational performance opportunies of the highest caliber, the study of music and the arts is a priority. When I started teaching privately in Westchester, parents would seek me out for geniune high quality drum, percussion, and mallet keyboard percussion instruction. They wanted to work with a professional musician in a flexible scheduling environment. As my client base grew, we started a Percussion Ensemble program for students of all ages and levels. I began providing high quality instruments to clients as well. Today, we boast a world-class faculty with performance events in a fully equipped drum, percussion, and piano studio. All of us are extremely proud to provide a much needed service to the community. The Simon Boyar School of Drums and Percussion is an absolute game changer for music education in Westchester, NY!
