The Kenya Conservatoire of Music was founded in 1944 as The East Africa Conservatoire of Music. From a purely expatriate teaching staff and clientele, we have grown to a student base of over 400 students of all ages and backgrounds in Nairobi. We are a non-profit making institution with no religious or political affiliation.
Equipped with a staff of 15 highly qualified and committed teachers (both local and expatriate), our main focus is on ensuring that our students not only receive first quality training in music, but more importantly that they enjoy the practice and challenges of making music. The lessons are given both at our premises within the Kenya Cultural Centre, and at various schools that our teachers visit weekly. In total, we offer training to over three hundred students around Nairobi.
