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.

Pre Assessment Assignment - Performances

As we move into our last Unit in the music class for this academic year, Performances, this Unit will help us get ready for our End Of The Year Concert. To understand more about performances and what all is involved in a performance, for their pre-assessment, the students were given an assignment of "A Performance." The class was divided into two groups. They were explained a few details to be kept in mind to prepare for their performance like Time Duration, Theme, Elements, etc...... The students were given time during class to practice and prepare for this. In their next music class, the students will be recorded with what they have prepared and practiced.


Stay tuned for videos on their Performance Video.
