Why Upperhill clients hire from us.
Upper Hill is Nairobi's business district — towers, hospitals and a fast-growing band of apartments off Ralph Bunche and Elgon roads. Most of our Upper Hill students are working adults fitting a keyboard or voice lesson around the office day, plus a few families in the residential pockets. We bring a weighted digital piano; early-morning and evening slots go first.
We've been teaching out of Kikuyu since 2016 — Concerto's roots are right here in this corner of Kiambu.

Ready for your ABRSM exam? How we check before you pay to sit it
ABRSM entry fees aren't small, and they climb with every grade. So before any Concerto student books an exam, we run an honest readiness check — a full mock under real conditions. If you're not ready, we say so. Here's exactly how we decide.

Frequently asked
Quick answers for Upperhill.
01Do you deliver hire equipment to Upperhill?+
Yes. Full PA / drum / keys setups are delivered and collected by our team in Upperhill. Delivery is built into the hire quote for confirmed bookings — no surprise charges on the day.
02How are hire rates calculated — by day, weekend, week?+
Daily rates are the base. A weekend (Friday pickup, Monday return) is 2× the day rate. A full week is 4×. Longer hires get a custom quote. The clock starts on collection / delivery and ends on return.
03Is there a deposit?+
Yes — a refundable security deposit per item, returned in full when the equipment comes back in the condition it left. For first-time hirers we keep it conservative; established clients (schools, churches, repeat event organisers in Upperhill) operate on account.
04What gear is available?+
PA systems (300W to 2,000W), drum kits (acoustic + electronic), keyboards and stage pianos, vocal microphones (Shure SM58 and similar), instrument mics, monitor wedges, stands and cables. Lighting and projectors are on request. See the full catalogue at /equipment-hire.
05What if something breaks during the event?+
Fair wear and tear is expected — we don't bill for it. Drops, spills, missing parts and theft come off the deposit at replacement cost. Every piece is tested in front of you at handover and tested again at return, so disputes are rare.
06How far ahead should I book hire for an event in Upperhill?+
Weekend dates fill up two to three weeks ahead in school exam season (Nov, Mar) and around festive dates. Mid-week is usually available with 24–48 hours notice. For large multi-day hires, book at least a week ahead.
