At BK Music Learning, our mission is to help children build strong academic foundations through the power of music and creative exploration. By integrating rhythm, melody, and interactive learning, we create environments where children flourish intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Rooted in a legacy of active learning and fueled by a love for music, we are dedicated to inspiring the next generation of learners—making learning as joyful, meaningful, and harmonious as it is effective.​​
BK Music Learning was established in 2020 by Yahoteh Kokayi, an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and seasoned music educator with over two decades of experience. His entry into early childhood education began in 2013, when he collaborated with his mother, Sahuspete Kokayi, on a series of educational children's music albums. A respected early childhood educator with over 40 years of experience, Sahuspete played a pivotal role in shaping the pedagogical foundation of the program. She continues to contribute her expertise by guiding the program’s educational framework and co-leading professional development initiatives for educators.

Motivated by a deep commitment to educational equity and innovation, Yahoteh co-founded a homeschooling collective in 2014, emphasizing experiential, music-integrated learning. Drawing upon his expertise in drums, piano and other percussion, and a true appreciation for early learning, he developed both a comprehensive, music-based teaching methodology and the 'MusiQ for Learning' curriculum. His unique blend of artistic talent and educational insight has driven the growth of BK Music Learning, which now serves children across a wide age range (2yrs - 18yrs) via teachers embracing the methodology in their classrooms, BKML teaching artists providing in-school enrichment, and Yahoteh (aka Baba Yah) leading concerts, workshops, and events that children LOVE!!
