Music

Our music program takes children on a journey from singing and music appreciation to basic sight reading of notes and playing the recorder. We have several opportunities for children to perform for the Bartlett community. The older children visit The New England Conservatory and The Boston Symphony for special programs.

The Bartlett School offers a very comprehensive and thorough music program. Our music studio allows the teacher to work in small groups or individually with each student. We also offer piano and other instrument lessons after school on a private basis. These children perform at a recital yearly.
