Silverlake Conservatory of Music is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2001, with its first location at Sunset Junction and a move to its current building in October 2016. The mission of Silverlake Conservatory of Music is to facilitate a dynamic music education and to teach beginning and accomplished musicians of all skill levels, with a primary focus on the youth of the community while welcoming all to participate. The program offers private music lessons and a variety of ensemble classes at a reasonable cost and grants scholarships to children who qualify, providing free lessons and instruments. Silverlake Conservatory of Music describes its performances and recitals as a fulfilling experience for students and a beautiful outreach to the community and states that the study of music enriches the lives of the student, teacher, community, and society. The school has maintained a strong roster of talented and committed future musicians through personal contributions, corporate contributions, musical instrument donations, and in-house fundraising activities. The music school building was redesigned by Barbara Bestor/Bestor Architecture, includes a parking lot available for students taking one-on-one lessons for the duration of their lesson, and requires ensemble classes, summer camps, workshops, and recital guests to find offsite parking. The organization notes that it strives to address the decrease in arts education in schools while providing cultural enrichment to the community at large and encourages visitors to take public transportation, ride bicycles, and walk. Silverlake Conservatory of Music lists its leadership team as Jennifer Rey – Executive Director; SJ Hasman – Artistic Director; Marc Rey – Chair of Instrumental Studies; Ashley Thomas Macias – Associate Director; Leslie Machado – Scholarship Program Manager; and Lovepreet Gill – Media Coordinator.
