2026–2027 Schedule

Three culturally rooted semesters

Each semester is named after a heritage that is uniquely Trinbagonian — because our culture is too rich to leave out of your child’s education. Each semester includes breaks for public holidays and professional development.

Community Celebration: December 12 🎄

Calypso Semester

“I’ve seen her go from clingy and resistant at age 3 to independent, enthusiastic, and sometimes Ms. Lisa’s assistant with the little ones — at 12 years old. Nine years in, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Iere Semester — Two segments

MAJU & JAVA — the full picture

Only families who complete the full Musikgarten® year — September through June — are eligible for Graduation and the Certificate of Completion.

Fees below apply per segment. Families joining both MAJU and JAVA are billed one materials fee only.

MAJU Segment (May–June)
May 1 – Jun 18, 2027
Graduation: June 12
TT$1,300
Priority enroll: Members Mar 15 · New families Apr 1
JAVA Segment (July–Aug)
Jul 3 – Aug 14, 2027
Celebration: August 14

Priority enroll: Members Mar 15 · New families Apr 1
MAJU families who have not secured JAVA in advance cannot be guaranteed their place for September.

Strategic families plan for the full year. Completing Parrandero, Calypso and Iere MAJU (September – June) puts your child at the threshold of the Musikgarten® Certificate of Completion — the most powerful recognition of your family's commitment to your child's development.

Common questions

Before you apply

Do I need to do an intro session before joining?

Yes — the Oye (free online) or Ramajay (TT$400 in-person) intro experience is the only pathway into membership. It ensures we find the right stage and programme for your child before committing to a full semester.

What is the difference between MAJU and JAVA?

MAJU (May 1–Jun 18) and JAVA (Jul 3–Aug 14) are the two segments of the Iere Semester. Families can join for MAJU only, JAVA only, or secure both together. MAJU families who do not book JAVA in advance may lose their spot as new families can join at that stage.

What does the Ramajay credit mean?

The TT$400 you invest in the Ramajay intro experience counts as your one-time MusicVersity Placement Fee in full. When you join as a Standard member, your family’s place is secured with nothing extra to pay. Families who join without completing Ramajay pay the TT$400 Placement Fee at the point of membership. Either way, you pay it once — and never again.

How does registration work?

Registration opens to current members first. Once member spaces are confirmed, remaining spots open to new families by waitlist. Spaces are intentionally limited — if you are ready to join, do not wait.

What payment options are available?

Standard membership is TT$2,500 per semester — tuition and full materials kit included. Two ways to pay: in full at registration (TT$2,500), or split — TT$1,500 at registration and TT$1,100 at semester midpoint. New families also pay a one-time MusicVersity Placement Fee of TT$400, which is fully covered if you joined via Ramajay. Monthly billing is a Premium membership benefit, available to families enrolled for two or more consecutive years. For the Iere Semester, families may join MAJU only and choose not to continue into JAVA — however, this means your September spot is not held. Families who secure the full Iere Semester (MAJU + JAVA together) and choose to sit out JAVA retain their place for the following September.

How do I qualify for Premium membership?

Premium is available to families who have been consistently enrolled for 2 or more years. Premium members are fully covered across all semesters — no additional admin fees ever.

Who receives the Musikgarten® Certificate of Completion?

The official Musikgarten® Certificate of Completion is awarded to children who complete all three semesters — Parrandero, Calypso and Iere — within the year. All children completing any individual semester receive an official Certificate of Participation.

What payment methods do you accept?

Payments can be made by debit card via WiPay (TTD) or by credit card via PayPal (USD).

Are spaces really limited?

Yes — and this is intentional. Class sizes are kept small to maintain the quality, responsiveness and individual attention that defines the Alabanza experience. Some classes fill before the semester officially opens to new families.

Every stage has a critical window.

Brain development doesn’t
stop at five.

Every stage — from baby to tween — has a critical window for music, language and growth. Strategic families start early and stay consistent.
