Spotlight on Creativity, Celebration, and Community!
As the end of the term approaches, the Music Department at Al Batinah International School is buzzing with excitement and artistic energy! From Lower Primary to Upper Elementary, our students have been diving deep into rehearsals, preparing for two unforgettable performances that will showcase their growth, creativity, and passion.
🌟 Concert Dates to Remember:
-
Lower Primary Concert (KG1–Grade 2): Wednesday, May 29th
-
Upper Primary Concert (Grades 3–6): Wednesday, June 12th
Across the school, the sound of music fills the halls — the joyful rhythms of percussion, the melodies of glockenspiels and recorders, and the confident voices of young singers all preparing to shine on stage.
🕺💃 Choreography and Collaboration
Students have been working in teams to choreograph original dances that reflect the themes of their songs and stories. Whether exploring traditional rhythms or pop-inspired moves, every child is contributing their own spark to the stage.
🎤 Talent Showcase
In addition to class performances, we are thrilled to include a Talent Showcase segment this year, where individual and small group acts will take the spotlight. Students have been diligently polishing their acts — singing, dancing, beatboxing, and playing instruments — and we can’t wait to celebrate their diverse talents.
🥁 Instrumental Excellence
The classroom has transformed into a rehearsal studio with students practicing musical pieces that combine rhythm, harmony, and ensemble skills. From body percussion to tuned instruments, our young musicians are building confidence and mastering the art of performance.
🎭 Performance Readiness
More than just entertainment, these concerts reflect the IB learner profile in action — students demonstrating confidence, commitment, risk-taking, and reflection. Through guided rehearsals and peer feedback, they are learning what it means to perform with purpose and presence.
💬 A Note from the Music Room:
“As a music teacher, it is truly inspiring to watch students grow not just as performers, but as expressive and courageous individuals. Their hard work and creativity are shining through — and these upcoming concerts promise to be a joyful celebration of everything they’ve achieved!”
