Evelyn Hone College

Evelyn Hone College is a Zambian college that provides music education at diploma level. The College is situated in the heart of Lusaka and is the fourth largest public institution in terms of student population and the number of programs offered. The institution offers a three-year secondary school music teacher’s diploma primarily to train secondary school music teachers with English as minor teaching subject. The institution also offers a two year music diploma for professional musicians who do not want to be teachers. The music teachers’ diploma program at Evelyn Hone College comprises both music courses and professional education courses, and a second teaching subject, English. Candidates in this program are recruited based on the general minimum requirements for admission at the college and therefore do not undergo any music audition or placement exams. Private tuition in instruments and theory is also available to those who might not want to enroll in the diploma program. Performance ensembles of the music section include a concert band, choir, pop band and traditional dance troupes.
