Simon Boyar Drum School and Shop

"Simon is incredibly patient, engaging and supportive with my son who is on the spectrum. My son loves Simon and looks forward to every class. Fantastic space, store and communication. Simon has a wonderful disposition to teach. I thought my son was going to play along to music to feel cool. My son is learning technique, fundamentals, how to read music and still has fun. He is learning with manageable steps, great exercises, and encouraged to practice. He has a perfect balance of instruction, seriousness and compassion. I wish I found this place the minute they opened."

"My son and I have both been taking lessons with Simon for the past six months. We have both grown in technique and concept. I am studying marimba and mallet technique, and my son is learning the drums for his first formal music instruction. We look forward to our lessons each time. We highly recommend the Simon Boyer Drum School! We are looking forward to further growth!"

"I have a young drummer (12 yrs old) that wanted to learn more, but was apprehensive about getting lessons. Simon's down-to-earth manor and friendly style of teaching immediately created a relationship where my son could excel and enjoy the learning experience. I'm highly recommending Simon's school for anyone searching for an engaging, fun atmosphere with an Instructor who "gets it"."

"Simon is an incredible instructor and mentor to his students. My son has made tremendous growth as a percussionist in the year and a half that he’s worked with Simon. My son has also met numerous professionals and had tremendous opportunities to showcase his accomplishments. I would highly recommend this school to anyone interested in learning and developing their musical skills. The shop is awesome too! Simon is very knowledgeable about everything he sells and he never tries to up sell you. He’s honest and fair."

"This is THE drum and percussion shop. Simon literally goes above and beyond. He has plenty of products to try and will spend time working with you to find precisely what you need. I can not stress this enough. If you need cymbals, drums, percussion, sticks, drum heads, advice, lessons, just stop in. Well worth the trip."
