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.

OIS proudly presents the Talent Show for the Primary - Grades 3, 4 and 5!!!

Talent Show for the Students of Grades 3, 4 and 5

It would be nice to have an opportunity for our students to perform to music (singing/dancing/playing an instrument). This will not only help students have an outlet to exhibit their potential and showcase it, but will also help teachers and students to get to know each other better. This is not a competition, but instead an outlet to promote our student talent and give them a stage to exhibit their efforts. 

The performances are scheduled for the:
10th September - 8.15 to 8.45 am - Grade 3
11th September - 8.15 to 8.45 am - Grade 4
12th September - 8.15 to 8.45 am - Grade 5
Points to be noted:

Ø  The students can participate as a solo/duet/trio or any group size.

Ø  Auditions will be held to finalize who can be part of this at the sole discretion of the music teacher.

Ø  Students will need to perform for a minimum time of 1 minute and a maximum time of 2 minutes. Groups of 4 or more can perform up to 3 minutes.

Ø  Students will need to get their own music/instruments/props for the auditions as well as the final event. Students will need to coordinate their own rehearsals and practice venues.

Ø  Auditions are to help finalize performers for the event, and depending on the number of performers, time slots will be assigned for the show.

Ø  Parents will not be allowed to be present at the auditions but are welcome to attend the show. 

Ø  If there are too many students wanting to perform, and if we are unable to accommodate them all, then we will have to give preferences to groups versus solo performers. 

Ø  Students can work together across sections and Grades (3, 4 and 5)

Ø  For the auditions, the students will need to perform for not more than a minute. They need not come in costumes but will need to have their instruments with them if they are playing one.


Auditions will be held during lunch recess from September 3rd, 4th, and 5th from 11:45am to 12:30pm. Entry forms need to sent in by 4pm on August 28th. Entries sent in later will not be considered. Entry forms are available with Mr. Cabral in room 307 or you can download and fill in the form.  All forms must be turned in directly to Mr. Cabral. For the auditions, each entry will be allotted a day and when the performers will need to be present for tryouts. In case you need any clarifications, please contact Mr. Cabral at Naveen.cabral@oberoi-is.org
