Welcome to Music Together® Silver Coast! We’re proud to be the top spot for kids’ music classes in the Silver Coast.
Inês founded our Music Together center, after attending classes with her own children when she lived in Zurich, Switzerland. They had so much fun singing and dancing together every week! The memories created for the whole family persisted, and there was a clear benefit for the children development and for family bonding. After moving to Portugal, she decided she wanted to bring the magic of Music Together to children and families here, too.
Our children are the beta testers, the merciless Music Together fans and – who knows – maybe they will be Music Together teachers one day!
