The goal of the music department is to instill a love for music from the first day of kindergarten through the last day of 6th grade. The music program is a comprehensive program combining classroom instruction, individual study, and performance opportunities  Classroom music begins in K-1 focusing on the basic concepts reinforced through enthusiastic singing, musical games, and movement. In addition, Grades 2-6 study music theory and history. Students begin individual instrumental instruction in grade 4 and are eligible to be in the Jackson School Band when they have reached an appropriate level of proficiency. There are several performances a year, including a Winter and Spring concert, along with the SAU-wide Louis Fuchs Concert.
