During the coming years, the Bayimba arts education programme will gradually develop into a full-fledged training institution, to start with developing its current music training programme into a structured music training pillar of the Bayimba Academy. For the development of training programmes and other pillars of the future Bayimba Academy, Bayimba is always looking out for new engagements and new partnerships. Please contact them if you want to get involved and partner with them.
