This week we are very excited to meet the children we will be teaching in Kawangware. The Kawangware Primary School has helped El Sistema Kenya select a pilot group of 20 children in Class 5 and Class 6 who will be joined by 30 other children in January 2015. We will be meeting with these children and their parents to talk about the program and answer any questions they may have. This is a very busy time of year for Kenyan schools as most students have begun preparations for national exams and we have tried to be sensitive to timetabling music classes alongside the exams in order to include as many students as possible.
We are also starting our Suzuki teachers in training masterclasses this week with our four trainees, Etta, Bernadette, Mumbi, and Papa. The teachers in training will learn how to teach using the Suzuki Method with all of the stringed instruments and will be assisting with teaching during the week as we start classes in Kawangware.
