In their first year at Symmes Junior High School, grade 7 students have the opportunity to be a part of all three arts subjects offered at the school: Music, Drama and Visual Arts. Each student will spend one trimester in each of the arts subjects as a introduction and 'trial period'. In music, all students will have the opportunity to learn to read basic music rudiments and perform on a wind instrument.
