Making music accessible for all

Writer: Hedda Mittner.

Tobias Kotze, who has joined Enlighten Education Trust as coordinator of their music project, has produced an online music course that can be accessed by members of the community free of charge.

“It’s a comprehensive introductory course for those who have not received any musical education and who would like to learn to read music. I compiled the course from academic material covered during my undergraduate years at Stellenbosch University and the content of the course is aimed at giving those interested in music the basic background that will enable them to study further and obtain a qualification through UNISA,” says Tobias.

Born and bred in Hermanus, Tobias spent several years overseas before returning to his home town at the end of last year. After graduating with a B Mus degree from Stellenbosch University, he studied for his Licentiate LRSM from the London Royal Schools of Music, which he obtained at the end of 2013.
