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.

Composer Of The Month!

Music composers have created some of the most outstanding works known to us and we have cherished those pieces, some even for a more than a 100 years now. But how many of us actually do know these composers or even their names! I have decided to introduce an activity called "Composer of the month" wherein I will put up a few facts about a composer in the music room and the students need to find out WHO the composer is. They can drop in a chit with their name, class and name of the composer, in a small basket kept in the room. At the end of the month we will look up to find out which class has managed to get most correct answers. This class will be featured in the next month as we will give away the name of the last composer put up, and then have details of another composer put up for the students to find out!
