Welcome Message

Greetings from Naveen Cabral, the Primary music teacher for Grades 4 and 5. I have also been assigned the responsibility of a Performance Co-ordinator in the Primary, under which I do run the Primary Musical and the Festival of Choirs. I am very excited to be entering my 13th year in teaching, 11 of which have been with the best of PYP schools. I play the guitar, recorder, keyboard/piano, xylophones and a few other instruments but my forte lies in singing. In addition to my strong PYP experience, I recently completed my Grade 8 Vocals in Trinity - Rock and Pop. I have also completed various other music certifications through the Trinity College of Music. I have been trained by quite a few professionals in different instruments and musical technique. In addition to the Music Together certification that I have, I have attended quite a few IB workshops (PYP). I do perform as a musician in my spare time, as a vent to my outburst of passion and love for music.

I believe my education and degree in my career has mainly been my teaching experience, which has helped me acquire the best from my students as we worked together to create great music and events. My aim will always be to help the students acquire musical skills and knowledge that will help them improve as an overall personality towards a better future for our world.

Display Board - Grades 1, 2 and 3

There is a display board down on the 2nd floor near the pit area that is used as a common Music display board. It mainly features the following:-

1) Learner Profile of the month - How we use and follow our PYP Learner Profiles through Music.
For August - we understood about how we were COMMUNICATORS in Music. This month its PERSPECTIVE

2) Composer of the month - "You are never too young to create".
We get to know more about our composers through facts revealed out here, but the name is not put up. Students are expected to INQUIRE and find out about the composer. The students can drop in their names on a chit of paper in the box attached and at the end of the month the class that has attempted most is acknowledged on the display board.

Last month it was 4A

3) Interesting facts about Music - Did you know that Termites ate wood faster when exposed to Rock Music. Similar interesting facts displayed.

So if you have a moment, please stop by and take a look at the Music Display Board on the 2nd floor near the Pit Area.
