Roy is by far the best teacher my son has ever had! I'm very protective of my son and I definitely hovered around for his first few lessons. Roy never minded. I don't hover anymore. He has all the tools a teacher needs. Knowledge, patience, kindness, understanding, compassion, loyalty and trustworthy. He is always reliable as well as flexible when my son's sports schedule conflicts with his drum lessons. He has taught my son so much more than the drums. We both look forward to Roy coming to the house for a lesson. Roy has become more than a teacher, he's also a dear friend.
- Dyanna D. Plainview, NY 9/21/2016 Roy is a great teacher who instills an appreciation for musical theory into every lesson, even when teaching the youngest future-rock-stars on the block. His personality is a perfect combination of patience and expectation, which is so necessary for teaching (and learning!) Also he's a righteous dude who has played with some of the best. We would recommend him highly to students of all ages.

Super talented, patient, creative teacher! My son has been taking lessons with Roy for about 2 + years and has steadily improved his technique, ability to read music and his love of drums. He really enjoys his lessons because Roy makes it fun as well as challenging. I also recently began lessons with Roy...he understands that one method does not work for all and wont give up until he figures out what works for you! He is never short on ideas or energy, and is always encouraging. Definitely recommend him for all ages.
- Lauren M. Manhasset, NY 4/7/2016 Roy is a master Drum teacher. He combines the excitement of a musical instrument with the importance of study habits. My son has been taking lessons for almost 4 years, and is doing really well. He reads notes, and plays on a very high level. I highly recommend!

My 6 year old son has been taking lessons with Roy for a few months. Roy is a wonderful teacher, he is very patient and encouraging. His teaching is thorough, and I like that he treats the lessons seriously, but with a dose of humor. I know that my son is getting the best start, on what will hopefully be a long musical journey. Thanks Roy :)
-Stacey Theodorakakis Roy has been instructing my son for a year and is a true professional! He is a highly skilled drummer and teacher. Case in point: Roy was able to help my son prepare for his level 5 NYSSMA solo in only 6 weeks. My son received an A. (The conditions that Roy had to teach under were stressful as we were rebuilding our home after Sandy.) With all of the chaos and with little time to prepare, he was able to generate such a positive result!

Great Drum Teacher. Very responsible and has a great appreciation of music. Transfers his enthusiasm to his students. My kids love him.
-N Manstino Roy is a great drum teacher. He is professional and very patient with my 11 year old (a must with 11 year old boys). Not only does he teach the "how to" of drumming, he provides my son with a greater appreciation of the various music genres to which he might not otherwise be exposed.
- Lara Chwat Roy is an excellent teacher; patient, kind, and has a great sense of humor! His relaxed manner and easy style create a no pressure, positive learning experience. My 5 year old enjoys his drum lessons!!
