Look at the depths of the quakes - they are all very shallow. Were they representing magma movement they would be far deeper and generating distinguishing harmonic signatures. It is unlikely they are relating to the activation of a volcano.

Harmonic tremor usually occurs during an eruption. Hasn’t happened yet. Check out the depth trend for the last 10 days. To my mind this is magma working to the surface, probabaly along an existing fault:
