Musik Kids is the Musikgarten program at The Center For The Arts. It is a group class program where children and parents share musical activities under the guidance of an early childhood music specialist. While singing, moving, listening, and playing simple instruments, the children develop a strong musical foundation in pitch recognition, steady beat, rhythm patterns, and music repertoire. You will receive CDs, family activity guides and instruments to continue the bonding and fun of music with your child at home. We understand the challenges of juggling a busy family schedule and have a flexible class make-up policy for occasions when illness or an unavoidable conflict occurs. Summer Mini-Musicals for ages 5-8Directed and designed by Miss Mary and Miss Nancy. Two, all-new, original musicals for young children! A low-key, fun way to learn traditional and new songs, a simple dance or two, and poems to wow the audience! The children will create the costumes, learn their parts, and put on a show for family and friends on Friday. Each day we build our community of young singers/actors through movement, music, art activities, and a snack time (you send the snack).

Musik Kids FacultyMary Rekers Mary Rekers is the Director of the Musik Kids program at the Wyoming Fine Arts Center. She has been teaching music to children in private studio and school settings for 24 years. She is certified levels I and II in the Orff-Schulwerk (music and movement) method, and is an Ohio licensed Elementary School Teacher. "Teaching music has always been my passion and joy. But to truly make a difference in a child's musical aptitude, and a family's music-making skills means starting very young! The research in the field shows that musical play has the most benefits before age 3, age 6, and age 9. As a music educator, I have made it my journey to work (and play) with these youngest children and their families." Mary has presented at Regional Montessori conferences, the National Orff Association's Conference, pre-school teacher development days, and for the children's librarians of the Hamilton County Public Library. Call 513-771-7675 to contact Mary for more information about Musikgarten at The Center, or send an email to Mary.
