Mission

TO FOSTER APPRECIATION AND SKILLS IN THE ARTS FOR STUDENTS OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES, AND TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO TEACH THOSE INTERESTED IN THE ARTS.

About

Music Programs: Year-long instruction was provided in strings (violin, viola, cello, bass, piano, guitar, harp), drums, and voice lessons, as well as instruction in electric guitar and electric bass. We taught children in three orchestras plus a violin choir (all-violin ensemble), provided Suzuki violin, viola and piano instruction (violin program is the largest Suzuki program in Cincinnati, collaborative with CCM Prep), taught two semesters of Musical Theater, and provided a year-long Musik Kids program for children 3 months old and up. Additionally, we offered summer music programs: two strings camps (orchestra and chamber music), two summer musical theater camps (ages 8+), one summer keyboard camp, a piano camp, four summer rock and roll camps, two mini- musical camps (ages 6-8), as well as summer-long Musik Kids programs (Family music and Music Makers, six classes per week), and two pre-school music programs on location in the nearby preschools offering one class per week for the duration of the school year. In addition to regular weekly programs which take place during the school year and in the summer, students had the opportunity to participate and performed in numerous recitals hosted at the Center and at the Wyoming Middle School auditorium. These recitals and performances are all presented to the public free of charge. The Suzuki program in violin, viola, cello, and piano included weekly lessons and group classes, and bi-monthly outreaches and recitals (group and solo). Suzuki students performed in six outreach programs to audiences ranging from 100 to 300 people, including performances at the Cincinnati Summer Fair at Coney Island, performances at an All-City Suzuki Play-in, and at the Cincinnati Art Museum, as well as at local retirement communities, all to enthusiastic audiences. Musical Theater students attended weekly coaching and performed a total of four shows, including two in the summer, to audiences numbering over 300 people. As an educational program, Musical Theater class and camps offered instruction to beginning, intermediate and advanced students, and to many students these activities served as a first introduction to singing, acting, and dancing, laying the foundation for a life-long appreciation for the performing arts. The Center also continued its partnership with both Linton PBJ concerts at the Center, as well as with Finneytowns ArtsConnect. Together with ArtsConnect we presented three Off the Hill productions of the Cincinnati's Tony-Award winning Playhouse in the Parks family-friendly theater plays, reaching approximately 600 people over the three free productions. We also presented the ArtsWave Days, a free community arts engagement day which included free demonstrations and performances of our programs (Musik Kids, Suzuki Strings and Art Open Studio), as well as participatory presentations by our two resident partner organizations: Cincinnati Civic Orchestra and Cincinnati Contradancers. Through all our programs, classes and performances, we drew a total audience in excess of 5,000 people, which included our students and their families and the community at large attending our performances and events.
