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 3 - Swimming Swimming

Music helps build up memorisation. And its just not memorisation of the lyrics/words that happens at a single time in a song. Its the rhythm in the tune, the actions that go along and the tune. Inner hearing helps process this faster as you listen at first and then make up the rhythm and melody in your head. Inner hearing - a very good process of learning.

The kids in this activity learn to sing a song, and then are asked to sing the song after erasing a few words off from the song but continue to sing the rest of the song. Thats the time when the students are encouraged to sing that part in their head.

This activity was done a few weeks back.
