Student Activities

Student Recitals

Student Recitals – for family, friends, and the Groton Hill Music School community to enjoy – help you build confidence, while providing goals for lessons and home practice. Participation is not required, but we encourage you to perform in at least two recitals each year. Student recitals are held in January/February and May/June. They are open to all instruments, ages, and abilities, and take place in one of our beautiful performance spaces.

We also offer Department Recitals at various times throughout the year, as well as Honors Recitals in the spring. For Honors Recitals, our string and piano teachers nominate their most skilled, dedicated, and improved students to perform.

For details, contact your teacher or the Music School office at (978) 486-9524 or info@grotonhill.org.

Student Competitions

Our teachers train and prepare interested students to participate in many regional competitions as well as exclusive Groton Hill student competitions:

Student Concerto Competition: Compete for your chance to perform as a concerto soloist with the Sinfonia Concert Orchestra in our world-class Concert Hall right here at Groton Hill. This is an incredible opportunity to gain valuable experience performing with one of the region’s top student ensembles.
