When you participate in a Kutandara Center class, you learn more than just music. You also learn critical thinking skills, develop higher cognitive skills and increase your ability to analyze and evaluate information. Teamwork and conflict resolution skills develop naturally and you enjoy the healthy, positive activity of music with new friends.

Melinda Evans, Shamwari parent
Thank you for all that you do for Luke in teaching him marimba and helping to instill a love of music in him! -
Julie Waldner,
youth student parent
When we see Kutandara Center directors and instructors with our kids, we are so happy. It is easy to tell that they like the kids, are proud of them and want to engage with them. They provide a healthy environment for kids to grow and they model good relationships with one another and each kid. We can tell that the kids feel like they are special and part of a unique community. -
