The current core team of the music school

We are very pleased to introduce you to the core team:
We support a brass orchestra in Togo.
OUR CONCERN
Philosophy
Enable intercultural exchange
...what could be better than making music together and exchanging ideas with another culture...
Promote village community
...a joint project, perhaps a musical performance in the village soon. And anyone who wants to can make a contribution within their means...
Expand personal responsibility
... Every musician is in control of how quickly they progress in 'mastering' the instrument. Above all, he is not only responsible for himself, but also for the musical instrument...
Strengthen education
...we want to give young people in particular a perspective through meaningful musical education and thus promote participation, democracy and community...
Sense and Purpose
We want to playfully promote personal responsibility and self-efficacy in the context of making music.

In EWE, the language spoken in Kusuntu, 'Akosiwa' means the Sunday-born. In many cultures, the Sunday-born is regarded as a 'lucky child'. Being able to make music in the community means 'luck'
