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.
