Music & Sound Design – Industry-Level Training

Starbright Academy’s Music & Sound Design Program is where young artists train like professionals while staying on track academically. Students ages 11–18 receive elite instruction in vocal performance, songwriting, instrumental music, and digital audio production — all while building a portfolio that includes recordings, performances, and original projects. With a fully accredited homeschool curriculum built around rehearsals and auditions, Starbright ensures students never have to choose between school and their music. Here, talent development and education work together to launch the next generation of artists.

Program Overview

Focused Disciplines

From stage to studio, students gain hands-on training in vocal performance, instrumental music, songwriting, and digital production. Whether they want to focus on one discipline or collaborate across many, every student develops the skills, confidence, and creative voice to stand out as a complete artist.

Flexible, Quality Academics

Starbright’s fully accredited academic program (grades 6–12) adapts to each student’s schedule — supporting rehearsals, auditions, and performances without falling behind. Credits and diplomas are recognized by colleges nationwide, giving parents peace of mind and students the freedom to pursue professional opportunities while staying on track to graduate.

Professional Faculty

Courses are taught by industry professionals — vocal coaches, producers, composers, and engineers with real studio and stage experience. Beyond instruction, students receive one-on-one mentorship, goal setting, and career guidance from faculty who understand the journey of turning passion into profession.

Holistic Approach

At Starbright, school works with your child’s talent — not against it. Our holistic model blends professional arts training with rigorous academics, so students can book gigs, attend auditions, or spend time in the studio while still excelling in school. The result: young artists who thrive both on stage and in the classroom, graduating with confidence and momentum for the future.

Curriculum & Schedule

Integrating Arts and Academics

At Starbright, students follow a flexible schedule with academics in the morning and professional arts training in the afternoon—customized to their discipline and pace. When auditions, rehearsals, or bookings arise, we adjust class times and assignments to ensure they stay on track academically without missing opportunities.

Our college-prep academics include a fully accredited curriculum, designed specifically for artists—blending creative projects with core subjects to keep learning relevant and engaging. By coordinating with arts faculty and flexing around performance schedules, we ensure students excel in both school and their craft without burnout.

At Starbright, students progress through academics at their own pace—with small class sizes, one-on-one support, and a flexible, mastery-based approach integrated into their daily schedule. By aligning study time with arts training, we reduce late-night homework stress and help students avoid burnout—so they can thrive both academically and artistically.
