Why "Music Road Rwanda?"
Music is indispensable in any society: it connects people. It plays in many areas of coexistence in education, in the reflection on the common heritage, in the cultivation of the common tradition, in the Church.
The level of musical education in Rwanda is very low. Only a few schools have music lessons. A higher music education does not exist.
Since the beginning of 2018, the project "Rwanda Music Road" has been partnering with the Presbyterian Church of Rwanda (Eglise Presbytérienne au Rwanda, EPR) in Kigali.
The goal is to establish and run a structured music school in the area of youth and adult work in cooperation with the EPR and its already existing resources.
Continuing musical education
A long-term goal is the development of music education in other parts of the capital and country.
