Northwest ISD is proud to offer a rigorous music program to every elementary student in the district. Students receive musical instruction each week in grades K-5 in the areas of singing, playing pitched and non-pitched instruments, music reading, composition, and movement.

Elementary music students routinely perform in school musicals, choir concerts, community events and PTA meetings. NISD offers a blended curriculum that embraces the philosophy of Kodaly, Orff, and Feirerabend. Students learn to read and perform music from a variety of cultures and genres.
