The Music program at Cypress Woods Elementary offers a wide variety of musical opportunities. Students are engaged in hands on learning, playing and creativity in Music. Utilizing the State and National Music Standards the students have the opportunity to experience Music through song, dance, improvisation and composition while playing a wide variety of instruments.
The Music program at C.W.E follows the curriculum and processes of Orff Schulwerk. The Orff process integrates the musical elements: melody, rhythm, harmony, form and tone color into the student’s musical experience. In the Orff process the child is the center of creativity, where the stress is on active learning through creating music together.
Cypress Woods Music Department also offers an exciting drumming experience using the World of Drumming program. This culturally rich curriculum teaches percussion technique and rhythmic patterns through the use of a variety of hands on experience with authentic culturally diverse drums.
Cypress Woods has a wide array of ensemble groups available to the students:
—Chorus for 4th and 5th grades
—Band for 3rd through 5th grades
—Music Focus Groups will be offered throughout the year with recorders, Orff and drum ensembles.
The Music Program at Cypress Woods will enrich your child’s life and offer a doorway into the wonderful world of Music.
