S2: EP13: Experience Over Everything - This Is ADMI ft Kennedy Wathome

In this insightful conversation, Kennedy Wathome, a music production lecturer at ADMI, walks us through his unique approach to teaching. From day one, students are introduced to the fundamentals and gradually progress to complex, real-world projects. Whether it’s producing an album or setting up a live gig, the curriculum mirrors the actual demands of the music industry, step by step. What makes his classes stand out is the hands-on support he offers. Kennedy takes time to identify where a student is struggling, whether it's technical skills or understanding certain tools. He offers his personal contact, calls for one-on-one sessions, and follows up to ensure each learner feels seen and supported. His priority is to create a space where no one is afraid to ask questions or fail. Kennedy believes that learning should not only be about acquiring skills, but also about living the experience. At ADMI, students are trained by professionals who are actively working in the field. This tight connection between classroom and career ensures that what’s taught is relevant and fresh. By the time students graduate, they don’t just carry a certificate—they carry real experience that speaks for itself.
