meet Muziki Changa

Muziki Changa was established in January 2013, in response to the need for developmental music lessons. Muziki Changa is the first step in a community of musical, educational and social programmes that work towards building a better society in Kenya, through music.

These include Nairobi Children’s Orchestra, Ghetto Classics and The National Youth Orchestra of Kenya.

Muziki Changa is inspired by similar programmes internationally, and maintains a healthy relationship with our counterparts overseas.

Our curriculum has been developed in consultation with you, the parents as well as experts in early childhood development, educational psychology and music education and performance.
