While selecting the location of Kamata School a lot of questions had to be asked.

• Where would be the best learning environment for student?
• Where would it be easy to reach no matter what part of Nairobi you are from?
• Where can one have easy access to commuter services without a lot of difficulty?
• Where would the student feel most secure while learning…etc.

While these questions seem unnecessary to some, they are very important to our students. Students needed a place where there is no disturbance in form of noise, therefore choosing Queensway House along Kaunda Street was just perfect.

Kamata School being on the second floor of the building makes sure that the student is well protected from the hassle and bustle of the street down below making learning a lot easier and more enjoyable.

The School is also conveniently located a walking distance away from all the major bus stops in the city. This makes it easier to access the school no matter where you are coming from. You don’t need to connect busses or hire taxis or bodabodas to get to Kamata School. The first bus you get on will bring you straight to Kamata School.

Being on the Upper side of town ensures that our students are safe while coming or going. Losing personal items while coming to school is unheard of. The building itself is protected throughout to ensure nothing bad happens to our students.

The street outside the school is well paved making sure that cleanliness is also maintained and the health of our students is not in any way affected by the environment. The School also ensures that everything is cleaned before the start of day and classes well arranged to ensure ease of movement and study as the day progresses .

We believe in maintaining a serene environment and our location and competent staff are there to ensure that this remains a reality. These same standards are expected from any other institution e.g. hotels and studios  that the school may collaborate with during the students’ course of study e.g. in school trips, team building activities and other related exercises. Our Students’ well being is highly valued as is evident in how we conduct ourselves

What does it mean to write a song when so much of today’s music is voiceless? That’s a great question for another article. But let’s say that, for our purposes, songwriting is the process of assembling musical ideas to form a larger structure of cohesive melody, harmony, and rhythm. It’s the brainstorming process that leads to a beginning, a middle, and an end.

What makes a good song? This is also debatable, but I’m more willing to answer this question. A song with good content depends on the listener and what appeals to them. It’s totally subjective. However, a well-crafted song is more objectively identifiable and will usually have all the elements listed above (i.e. melody, harmony, rhythm, beginning, middle and end) while being composed in a pleasingly recognizable way while remaining creative and staying true to the music’s message.

When it comes to lyrics, I like to think about prosody: how lyrics and music work together to support each other. It is not enough to have good texts from a literary point of view. They also have to be musical when the singer sings them.

A good song unfolds in time, takes us down a familiar path full of surprises to make sure we’re listening. What the singer sings he/she accompanies the harmony in a way that pleases the ears and uses repetition to help the listener get used to the progression of the chords before moving on to the next section and another set of chords.

Song Writing course is rare to find in this parts of the world because many have not yet embraced the true worth of creative arts. However, at Kamata School we are focused on what’s happening on the ground. More and more young people are getting into the arts business, specifically music. We want to be part of that change. Guiding our young ones into becoming better writers with content that will last a life time.
