Why Karen students learn here.
Karen runs on a different rhythm to the rest of Nairobi — quieter, the family routines lean toward after-school activities, and the gated estates favour the in-home model. Our Karen trainer arrives on the same weekday afternoon each week; the lesson happens at your piano (or our portable one), with online as the backup when the family is travelling. Students from Brookhouse, Hillcrest, Banda and St Christopher's are particularly well-represented.
We've been teaching out of Kikuyu since 2016 — Concerto's roots are right here in this corner of Kiambu.
