I would like to take this opportunity to thank all who have sacrificed their time and money to support our music program at Tumaini Miles of Smiles School. You cant imagine the smiles on our children's faces when they heard that we are supported to buy music instruments and also engage a qualified music teacher to teach them. This is the most happiest moments for the children who are talented and have passion for music.
Our curricular has changed and we are required to mentor talents, we chose music to be our main program because music changes lives and motivates the children. Music can also improve their personality and can change them academically.
We actually didnt know how to approach this, we dont have any single instrument apart the traditional drums and the children could only do traditional dance. A friend had donated to us an old piano which we cherished so much but we had power failure which blew up the transformer and it affected the piano. It was sad when we were told that it could be repaired and we had to throw it away. We are very grateful for your support and we are getting started.
We would like to have a school band and we will continue fundraising for concerts and competitions. I believe we still need more instruments which we will keep you posted on this page.
please share with friends and families about this wonderful program at our school. Watch this space for more interesting stories about our music program.
