I joined the school in July 2024, taking on the professional challenge of working in a new city, within a new curriculum (IB), and in a different student culture. From the initial training to work with two IB programmes (PYP and MYP) to adapting to the wide range of school events, this experience has represented a significant and enriching professional challenge. Together, we have addressed this by designing music classes that invite students to engage with music in innovative ways, always prioritizing instrumental performance and the overall well-being of each student.

One of the most significant outcomes, particularly at the secondary level, has been the implementation of live music performances in the school’s Christmas Shows for the first time. During the 2024–2025 academic year, we presented four live student bands (Grades 6, 7, 9, and 11). For the 2025–2026 academic year, this expanded to five live bands (Grades 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10), as well as a solo performance accompanied by piano. In addition, students have participated in music composition projects across different musical genres and the creation of leitmotifs for literary characters, developed through interdisciplinary collaboration with subjects such as Spanish Language, Social Studies, and ELA.

At the primary level, we have established a school choir responsible for performing at the First Communion ceremony during the second term of the year, as well as the creation of small instrumental ensembles within regular music classes.
