I've gotten a new song from my music teacher though, she never mentioned anything about this symbol.

Music notation with a symbol that looks something like a "7", the symbol is marked with a circle and an arrow

I'm rather new, can anyone explain to me what this represents?

    The Elephant Song! I learned to play it when I was trying to learn Thai, and it's what I play at parties when everybody (me included) is a bit drunk. Meeting it here was an unexpected pleasure. Chaang chaang chaang!

That's an eighth note (quaver) rest. If you know how to play the quarter note (crotchet) rest in the previous measure, then it's the same thing, just half as long.

I suggest you bookmark the following page for future reference: Musical symbols.
