Need help fitting orchestra in your schedule? You’re in the right place.
We know it can be difficult to take orchestra alongside all of the other courses that you need and want to take. If you want to take orchestra for all four years (something which you by no means are required to do), you will need to be creative in how you structure your course load. On this page, you will find information about graduation requirements, summer courses, and the all-important four-year plan.
The Four-Year Plan
The four year plan is a worksheet provided by the school to help you plan your four years at TJ. This will help you ensure you’re meeting your graduation requirements and senior research lab requirements. If you want to do orchestra for four years, you 100% should fill this out for your own benefit.
Also linked are the course catalog and the TJ website’s academics section.
Sample Plans
The four-year plans of seniors/alumni who have done four years of orchestra. Even if you plan on doing the same lab as one, you don’t need to follow it exactly.
