Daima Mimi Mkenya – Easy Arrangement for Soprano Recorder & Violin: Perfect for Kenyan School Performances

A patriotic Kenyan song arranged for the two most common instruments in Kenyan schools.

Why this arrangement exists:

I am a Kenyan music teacher. I know that most schools in Kenya have soprano recorders and violins. Keyboards are expensive. Guitars need tuning and maintenance. But recorders and violins? They are already in your music room.

So I arranged "Daima Mimi Mkenya" – a song every Kenyan child knows and loves – for exactly these instruments.
