2020: Best Music Schools in Kenya

By Prudence Minayo

As Plato once put it, “Music gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” Music expresses what can’t be said in words. It is soothing, refreshing, entertaining, basically a balm to the soul. And music is much more than hitting the studios to record a song. It takes voice training, rigors of composing a song, marketing your end product and much more related to music. More Kenyans are enrolling in music schools to pursue music as a professional career.
