How it all began...

kid and xilophone.png

Kidslabmusic was born in 2018 from a deep desire to make music a meaningful part of childhood. It started as a music program created to meet children where they are, respecting their rhythms, their voices, and their unique ways of learning. Through exploration, movement, and imagination, I wanted kids to feel music, not just learn it. I began by offering sessions to nurseries and families across Dubai, creating spaces where music could spread joy, confidence, and connection.

​

As I grew as an educator, so did Kidslabmusic. After completing my PGCE(i) in 2021, I felt a need to empower not just children, but also the adults around them — parents, caregivers, and teachers — to use music as a bridge to build deeper relationships.

​

Since 2023, Kidslabmusic has expanded its mission to make music accessible to anyone who wants to connect, educate, or simply be present with children through song. You don’t need to be a musician to bring music into your home or classroom, just a heart open to connection. I also want to spread the message of the power that music has to support us in everyday life, helping with routines, fostering inclusion, enriching learning experiences, and helping us to connect with ourselves and others.

Today, through family sessions, original songs, musical resources, and e-books, Kidslabmusic is here to remind us all that music is not just something we listen to, it's something we live, share, and carry in our hearts.

Meet Alejandra Aranda

Founder of Kidslabmusic | Music Educator | Creator of Meaningful Music Resources

I'm Alejandra (Ale) Aranda, originally from Chile. In 2005, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Construction Management, but my heart was always in music. When I moved to the Middle East in 2008 with my husband, I decided to follow that passion fully — teaching music to children and families.

​

Since then, I’ve taught music, guitar, and singing to children (and adults) in Dubai and Doha, led two adult choirs, and participated in many more since I was six. In 2012, I became a mom to Valentina, and in 2016 to Ignacio. They, (along with all the children I’ve taught), have been my greatest teachers. Through them, I’ve learned to slow down, to listen more deeply, and to see the world with wonder. They have motivated me to spread this message even further: one where adults connect more genuinely with children, and children feel truly heard.

​

In 2015, I became a certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, and in 2021, I completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCEi) to formalize the experience I had built over the years.

My mission

At Kidslabmusic we want to spread the message of how music has the power to support emotional bonding, daily routines, inclusive learning experiences, mindfulness, and creativity — no musical background needed.

​

We also want to create meaningful opportunities to experience it through family music sessions and engaging, practical tools for parents and educators.

​

Kidslabmusic is here to remind us that music is not just an art to learn academically: it’s a language of connection with ourselves and others.
