Why Kabete students learn here.
Kabete is the agricultural college's stomping ground — we see a steady stream of university-staff families, plus several long-term in-home students in the subdivisions off Lower Kabete Road. Twenty to thirty minutes to the studio; the morning eastbound traffic onto Waiyaki Way is the bottleneck.
We've been teaching out of Kikuyu since 2016 — Concerto's roots are right here in this corner of Kiambu.
