Music tuition for the American Curriculum
Personalised one-to-one music tuition for American-curriculum students in Nairobi — from general music and ensembles to AP Music Theory and college audition prep.
Cheza Music School partners with students following the American (US) curriculum, offering the kind of focused, one-to-one instruction that supports both school ensembles and college ambitions. We work alongside general music, band, orchestra and choir programmes, prepare motivated students for AP Music Theory (College Board), and coach high-schoolers through college audition and portfolio preparation. Our teaching reflects the skills American schools value — musicianship, theory, performance and creativity — and can align to graded exams (ABRSM or Royal Conservatory / RCM) where families want a recognised external benchmark. Lessons are delivered live online, one-to-one in person, or on-site at your American international school in Nairobi.
