ABIS Music Weekly Blog
Week 1 | Academic Year 2026–2027
Welcome back to a rhythm-filled start to the new academic year at Al Batinah International School! The music room has officially come alive with curiosity, movement, and the joy of shared music-making.
Here is a look at the musical adventures that unfolded across our year levels this week:
Early Years Discovery (KG 1 & KG 2)
Our youngest learners stepped into the wonderful world of instrument families! Through listening, exploration, and hands-on discovery, students began identifying the distinct looks and sounds of different instruments, sparking plenty of early musical wonder.
Foundational Grooves (Grades 1 & 2)
Grades 1 and 2 jumped straight into the heartbeat of music by focusing on rhythm and creating rhythmic patterns. Using body percussion and percussion instruments, students explored how beats combine to make exciting musical sentences of their own.
Upper Primary Explorations (Grades 3 – 6)
Our upper primary musicians hit the ground running with a comprehensive dive into the fundamentals of music literacy. Students focused on mastering rhythm, navigating the music staff, and building note-reading skills to set a rock-solid foundation for the year’s musical voyage ahead.
The stage is set for an incredible year of artistic growth and expression. Keep those listening ears open, and we will see you next week for more musical fun!
