There are many musical choices 6th and 7th graders have at Thomas Jefferson. People who like to perform typically join Choir, Orchestra, or Band. As part of the Exploratory Block of classes, Exploring Music studies different areas of music, like history, theory, technology, and how music is used in the world today.

To appreciate music concepts, we also learn how to play folk instruments, such as the piano and guitar. The Exploring Music 6 class is a nine week class that is taken with the other Exploratory classes. The 7th grade class is a one semester elective course that is open to everyone - even those that sing or play an instrument!
