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.

Grade 2 - I Have Lost My Closet Keys

Dynamics of loud and soft singing is what is required to help the person find the 'lost' keys.

A student is asked to go outside the room and then another student in the class is asked to hide the keys. Then the student who has been waiting outside comes back inside the room looking for the keys. The rest of the students who are seated in the class, keep singing "I have lost my closet keys, in my lady's garden" in a continuous loop. They sing loudly when the student who is searching for the key is close to the key and softly when that student is away from the key. Their goal is to help that student find the key. Usually its always found with the help of the 'dynamic' singing - lol, unless Mr. Cabral decides to be naughty. Find out more from your children about what is it that I am referring to.......................
