Description

iMbizo Ya Makhono : Is a GATHERING of the Arts, today for tomorrow. Through mentorship knowledge and skills exchange we are holistically off-setting the losses in education of historical legacies in South Africa. Our music educational resources are a sustainable solution in the music sector for authentic career growth for musicians, creative artists, and industry practitioners and quality free resources for students and teachers alike.

A Pan African syllabus based music education, relevant to IEB and CAP (grades 10 -12) curriculum, bridging course to university and young professsionals wanting to get ahead. It is an innovative and interactive music mentorship and self-development series of teachings; including: spiritual, emotional and mental development; and, technical, historical, general knowledge, business and career know how.

The tutorials are recorded in a live workshop setting offering three levels of activation for participants across multiple target groups. Activations include music education, music incubation and know-how for career stimulation.

By providing quality Afrocentric music learning resources, our future generations of leaders, artists, performers and musicians in a target group 14 – 27 can be given the tools and resources required to further their opportunities, know-how and output.

Topics covered include S.A Jazz, Rhythm Workshops, Spirituality and Freedom in music, South African music vernaculars, poetry and jazz and shared the tools of organisation, promotion and philosophy. Music Learning resources include a broadening on the music genres, in a quest to cater for all kinds of S.A. music and Pan Africanism, Decolonisation, AfroCentricity and African Humanity as pillars for making African music that endures and looks ahead.
