Ben Fernandez : I highly recommend Barry Young. He is my son’s drum teacher. Has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is passionate about drumming. My son always looks forward to his lessons with Barry. Maria Fernandez: If you are looking for a drum teacher who builds real musicianship, Barry Young is exceptional. His focus on technique, theory and disciplined practice gives students a solid foundation that allows them to play any style with confidence. His structured, traditional approach to technique and musical understanding goes far beyond just learning songs which builds a strong, lasting foundation. He is deeply committed to each student’s progress and it truly shows. We have seen a remarkable difference in our son’s understanding and growth under his guidance.

Frances McMoran: 9 years ago. Barry Young is our sons second drum teacher and is proving a absolute asset to our boys music learning and drumming skills. Barry is clearly an experienced teacher with enormous insight and understanding in the complexities of young people and adolescence and shows compassion and patience into our sons whole learning experience. Truly can't rate Barry highly enough, he's a wonderful role model and I'm truly glad we found him. Thanks Barry.
