Starwood Academy’s music program for elementary and middle school students provides an engaging and immersive exploration of musical concepts through the Orff Schulwerk approach, which integrates vocal expression, instrumental performance, speech, and movement.

This student-centered method fosters musicianship through improvisation, composition, and creative discovery, emphasizing the learning process over performance outcomes.

Students build a strong foundation in music theory—melody, harmony, rhythm, and form—while gaining experience with both pitched and unpitched percussion instruments. Through global folk traditions, games, and dance, they deepen their cultural and musical literacy.

This hands-on, collaborative approach nurtures technical skills, critical thinking, and creativity in a dynamic and supportive environment.
