The members of Mr. de Burgos's mixed chorus class dili- gently practice the beautiful songs we later hear, Music is important in Iefferson's curriculum. Through Mr. Zoeller's classes in A Orchestra, B Orchestra, band, stringed in- struments, and wind instruments, and through Mr. de Burgos's classes in harmony and voice, students learn the value of cooperation and develop an appreciation for good music and beauty.
