Members of the Safaricom Youth Orchestra will get their music lessons through e-learning using 4G-enabled mobile handsets from Safaricom.
But, the over 80 students who make up the orchestra will now receive music instructions from home.
“We acknowledge the significant role that music plays in our daily lives, more so to the 10 to 17-year-old boys and girls who get the chance to play for the Safaricom Youth Orchestra.
We aim to bridge the divide brought about by the restriction of movement by enabling the students to get access to their music tutors through e-learning,” said Peter Ndegwa, chief executive officer, Safaricom.
Not only are the students equipped with musical knowledge but personal development and leadership skills,” said Elizabeth Njoroge, Safaricom Youth Orchestra manager.
