ØLearn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others, have the opportunity to learn a music instruments, use technology appropriately and have opportunity to progress to the next level of musical excellence.
Ø Understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated, including through the inter-related dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations.

Drama
The club was formed in 2013 and since then, the club has grown tremendously. It has represented the school at various levels, from Sub-County to national level. We have been participating in various categories like folk music and dances, elocutions, instrumentals and set music during music festivals, and on the other hand, dramatized solo and choral verses, spoken word, comedy, play, modern dance and film during drama festivals.
We have a team that is dedicated and selfless. We go miles to nurture the young talents presented to us. This year (2023) we have participated in drama festivals and we are proceeding to the national level and focusing to go even beyond. Currently we are the Sub-county, county and regional champions and among the best teams proceeding to the national levels.
Under the leadership of our able producer and Senior Principal, the one and only Mr Joseph Were, we have received full support right from production of the different genres to being available whenever needed and I believe we will do better than the previous years.
