How Kabarak University's School of Music and Media Nurtures Competence and Passion

At Kabarak University, education transcends the walls of the classroom and the confines of academic degrees. It is rooted in a deep commitment to personal growth and holistic development. Here, faculty and staff dedicate themselves not only to teaching but also to building transformative relationships with students—relationships that inspire them to become the best versions of themselves. This unique approach goes beyond traditional learning, creating an environment where competence meets passion.

A perfect embodiment of this philosophy is Prof. Mellitus Wanyama, is one of Africa’s few full Professors of Music. Prof. Wanyama is not only a distinguished academic leader but also a hands-on mentor. His dedication to students goes beyond lectures, as he invests his time and expertise in personally coaching aspiring musicians, helping them perfect their melodies, and mastering their instruments. His presence in the music department is a constant reminder of Kabarak University’s mission: to nurture talent with both technical competence and deep passion.

This mentorship culture is a cornerstone of Kabarak University’s broader vision. At Kabarak, education is not limited to imparting knowledge; it is about inspiring purpose, encouraging creativity, and instilling a sense of excellence. The goal is to equip students with the skills, confidence, and drive to excel in their careers and make a lasting impact in their respective fields.

A notable event that reflects Kabarak's commitment to nurturing talent is the upcoming Senior Recital and Practical Examination, scheduled for November 28th and 29th. This event, hosted by the School of Music and Media (SMM) and the Department of Music and Performing Arts (DMPA), marks a significant milestone for the senior class of 2025. It is not just a practical examination, but an opportunity for students to showcase their musical prowess and artistic expression. The event will feature a range of performances that highlight the artistic depth and technical skill nurtured throughout their studies at Kabarak.

At Kabarak, we believe that when competence is paired with passion, students are empowered to reach their full potential and create a meaningful difference in the world.
