She has studied mbira with Sekuru Cosmas Magaya, singing with Ambuya Beauler Dyoko, and additional marimba work with visiting artists such as Paul Mataruse. She was an original member of the Center's student perfromance class Musangano and currently plays with the Center's school performance group Mhuri and serves as a substitute when needed with Kutandara.
