Our family's lives have been forever enriched by the fabulous musical programs available at the Suzuki Institute. Children as young as 4 can begin with a "sing and play" class to familiarize themselves with music sounds, ryhthm, and music theory. These classes are fun games that are interactive and instructional, but children are joyfully engaged and really have no idea that they are learning!
The Institute has many supportive instructors in both piano and strings, who have a passion and patience for teaching children. Kids have two lessons each week, one individual and one group lesson, and several recitals a year. One of our boys had piano instruction for 6 years before moving on to trumpet, our other is in his 6th year of violin. This school does teach children to read music, although I understand that some strict advocates of the "Suzuki method" do not.
There are other organizations like the Music School of the NW, just off Aurora on about 90th, that also have children's music programs. They also might be a good resource for finding teachers in your area. Good for you for helping to bring music into your child's life!

I LOVE coming to this place!! There's a lot of stuff crammed together in a small space and the parking can be difficult, but it's worth coming to check it out if this strikes your interest bone! They have percussion from all over the world - not just the African drums! I also like the fact that they have resources for teachers there (I'm certified to teach music) and instruments for little ones - my nearly 3 year-old has a great collection.

My 2 girls have been going here for the past year and love it. The school, founded by Steve Smith has been around for "I think" 15 years and its sort of a makeshift "School of Rock".
While its environment is what some might say casual.. that is an understatement :)
The teachers are great and the fact that a lot of talent surrounds the business is obvious. Death Cab for Cuties drummer used to teach here... not too long ago.
The business doubles as both a studio and a rehearsal space so they frequently have all ages shows where the artists can display their talents.
The name is a little misleading as while the do specialize in drum lessons they also offer training in many other instruments and offer summer programs/camps for kids.
