Bongo Boy Music School is a private music school located
in the Castleton area of Indianapolis. Our goal is to provide the
best music instruction in the city of Indianapolis and surrounding
areas. Here you will find a safe, professional and creative atmosphere
to enhance your musical abilities and establish a solid musical
foundation. Our instructors are seasoned live, touring, studio musicians
who have years of experience teaching students of all ages. Since
being founded in 2003, we made a point to avoid retail sales. Scheduling
and payments are handled by our office manager. Therefore, the instructors
dedicate the entire lesson to focusing solely on crafting specialized
lesson plans based on their students needs and abilities.
We offer private instruction on drumset & world percussion,
marimba & vibes, timpani, classical & rudimental snare drumming
for orchestra/band & marching band/drumcorps, electric &
acoustic guitar, classical guitar, upright & electric bass guitar,
piano & keyboards, woodwind & brass instruments, violin
& viola, recording software, music production, music/drum loop
production and more. We offer group classes on congas, djembe, electric
and acoustic guitar. Also on the list is our rock band class, rock
jam, kids rhythm jams, drum circles, rhythm workshops and health
rhythm programs powered by REMO.
We teach all styles of music (classical, jazz, marching/drum
corps music, rock, funk, latin, reggae, blues etc…). We offer
professional solo & ensemble preparation as well as college
audition preparation (including the ability to record "live"
video auditions). Students at Bongo Boy Music School have gone onto
music schools such as Indiana University, University of North Texas,
Berklee School of Music and others. Whether students take lessons
purely for recreational purposes or focusing on a career in music,
Bongo Boy Music School instructors will provide you with the necessary
tools needed to reach your musical goals.

Bongo
Boy Music School is an absolute gem. It's got a great vibe - professional
but relaxed - and aesthetic. You can study so many different things
under one roof! There should be a BBMS in every town across America!
Lastly, the people are fantastic, and I look forward to my next
visit.
Johnny
Lee Lane - Director of Education, REMO, Inc.
"It's all about the groove".
Sandi
Tavel (Student and Parent)
"This place is totally dedicated to learning. Ed really becomes
interested in what his students are doing. He's upbeat and funny.
I can't say anything bad...I would love to see his business grow".
Jo
Roberts (Student and Parent)
"I wanted to take this opportunity to thank John Frye for the
lessons in guitar that he provided for my son, Joseph Roberts. Joseph
really seemed to connect with John and really enjoyed the lessons.
I will highly recommend Bongo Boy to anyone who needs instrument
lessons. It's a great place and we will be back in the Spring".
Beth
Doctor (Bands of America, Music for All)
"Thank you so much for providing such an awesome experience
for our delegates during Summit II. Our students gave me rave reviews!!
The Drum Circle was such an excellent bonding experience and example
of community building. I look forward to our organizations collaborating!!
Jay
Simmons (Student and Parent)
"Ed, Anna and all the Bongo Boy Instructors: I am a little
sad that Carl does not feel he has time to continue lessons. He
is headed off to college in about 6 months so the lessons would
have to come to an end soon anyway, but still....I just wanted to
tell all of you what a positive influence Bongo Boy Music School
has been for Carl and other students as well I'm sure. I am so glad
John Martin at Sam Ash Music told us about Bongo Boy and Carl and
I will always have fond memories. Maybe I'll be able to pick my
lessons up again in the near future. Wishing all of you the very
best".
