Appeal

Music

Instruments and professional music teaching for TEACH Rwanda schools, in partnership with Rwanda Rocks and Global Music Box.

Why music

Music is project‑based learning with an audience.

Learning an instrument requires exactly what TEACH Rwanda asks of every classroom: sustained practice, tolerance of early failure, collaboration, and performance in front of people whose opinion you care about.

It also does something the rest of the curriculum struggles to: it gives children a way to be excellent at something that is not measured by an examination.

Professional teaching
