New York School Of Music

At New York School of Music, we believe music can be transformative in people's lives because it has transformed ours. That's why we do all we can to give musicians of all ages the tools they need in their tool boxes to build a creative life that is meaningful and rewarding. Whether that's as a hobbyist, gigging musician, fulltime pro, soundman, producer.

Each week, you'll see the same instructor, at the same time, most likely for 30 minutes. Your instructor will review what you worked on last time, correct any mistakes, and assign new material. Then, you take your new assignments home and practice them on your own. Your teacher will guide you as to how to practice and for how long, but most teachers recommend at least 5 practice sessions a week, even if each one isn't that long.

We have been very happy with Sal as a drum instructor for our son for these past few years. Sal is a technically skilled drummer and a wonderful teacher. He really stresses the techniques and skills while fostering a love of playing the drums in his students.

Beyond teaching them to play, Sal also takes an interest in how their drum set is set up and how the way they play and practice can affect how much they enjoy playing now and into the future.We highly recommend Sal! Thank you, thank you NYSM for all your support in the making of this musician over the past 5+ years.

There is something so cool and critically important about performance and how it nourishes musical growth. Everyone who works at the school is a performer, and every one of them will tell you that there is nothing like singing and playing on stage to hone your skills. That, and the fact that there is no experience that can match the pure joy of making live music!
