Hour of music fun for children, families

WILTON — An hour of musical fun at the Cushing School from 4 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 22, will be a fundraiser for the Western Maine Play Museum.

Carla Miller, director of Music with Carla, said, “This fun-filled music program is designed to engage children ages 8 months to 5 years in singing songs, chants, creating rhythms and reciting rhymes as they move and play with basic rhythmic instruments, scarves and other props. As the children engage in the activities, they help build basic music competency in a playful expression of joy of music-making with the adults who love them.”

Miller hopes to raise funds to support the opening of the Western Maine Play Museum in Wilton. The museum board has been fundraising for a few years and progress is being made on the facilities and exhibits that will be available.

A suggested donation of $10 a family will support the cause.
