What your family earns

Completion is celebrated. Commitment is recognised. Every milestone matters.

🎓
Certificate of Participation
Awarded each semester

Every child who completes a full semester — Parrandero, Calypso or Iere — receives an official Certificate of Participation.

Parrandero · Calypso · Iere
🏆
Musikgarten® Certificate of Completion
Awarded at Grand Finale — full year only

The prestigious Musikgarten® Certificate of Completion is awarded to children who complete all three semesters of the year.

Full year completion only

Strategic families plan for the full year. Completing Parrandero and Calypso puts your child one semester away from the Musikgarten® Certificate of Completion — the most powerful motivator for staying consistent through Iere.

Musikgarten materials

Hybrid class

Hybrid flexibility

Consistency is everything.
We never let it break.

All members access live online sessions when in-person isn’t possible — travel, illness, distance. Your momentum never has to stop. Pre-recorded session access is reserved for Premium members, with exceptions available for families travelling abroad or in special circumstances.

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–Jun) and JAVA (Jul–Aug) 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?

Families who complete the Ramajay intro experience during an active semester receive the full TT$400 credited toward their membership first payment. Families who complete Ramajay before the semester begins are not eligible for the credit — the intro experience is a separate investment in finding the right fit for your child.

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 plans are available?

Payment plan options are available for both Standard and Premium members. Reach out to us directly and we will find the arrangement that works for your family.

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.
