Why You Should Go: They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, and while old dogs have been trying to prove that theory wrong for years, there's no doubt that new skills are learned easiest by the young. Music is no exception, so get your kiddo banging out the rhythm with group drumming lessons at Arlington’s hot-spot for budding percussionists: Gil Graham’s Drumming Preparatory School.

What You Will Get: Your little one will learn the fundamentals of the drum set in a fun, relaxed, and hands-on environment with three or four other students. Future rock stars ages 5-12 will start to feel the beat, understand the instruments, and tap away like a pro with Gil’s guidance.

What You Should Know: Gil Graham is a former Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory Extension instructor and loves crafting percussion-perfectionists minds’, young and old. Classes are held 6 days a week and are a perfect intro to the world of music for your kids. Teach them well.
