Two 45 minute introductory music classes where students are exposed to violin, cello, piano, and additional elements of music. Ideal for children ages 2-6 years old.

Silver Music was founded by Ellen Rose Silver in 2005 after 14 rewarding years of teaching Suzuki cello. Ellen created the Ready Set Play class for children in her sons preschool who were interested in exploring instruments, as a response to many parents asking which instrument their child should play and when and how to start them. She took the Pre-Twinkle stage of the Suzuki approach and added the physical and improvisational elements of Dalcroze methodology to help children develop the preliminary skills and interest in cello, violin, and piano before they chose one instrument for private study. Students then went on to study violin, cello, and piano when they were truly ready to learn from a teacher in a focused way.

Our goal is to carry the enthusiasm generated in our beginning classes forward into the discipline and structure of the private lesson when children and parents are ready. Over 800 children have enrolled in our classes, and our Instrumental Program is 120 students and growing. We have a close-knit and incredibly committed and professional group of teachers, an equally warm and wonderful group of parents, and absolutely wonderful students who we delight in teaching each week!
