About Boston Trinity

Boston Trinity Academy is a Christian, coed, college preparatory middle and high school. We educate a diverse student body from across the greater Boston area in grades 6-12. We are committed to providing an exceptional academic experience that inspires each student to excel in a Christ-centered community where they are known and loved. Our graduates demonstrate the intellect, leadership, and moral character they learn here as they succeed at numerous top colleges and universities and in life beyond.

Musical Arts

Boston Trinity Academy’s music program acknowledges that every student is musical and strives to nurture every student’s musicality. Our desire is to provide a well-rounded music education that promotes music as an art and as an academic discipline. In addition to exposing students to a diverse array of excellent music from around the world, we strive to enable all students to sing joyfully, perform confidently, listen intelligently, express themselves creatively, and investigate curiously.

Middle School Music

The middle school program aims to give students a thorough grounding in musical basics, in order that all students can express themselves musically

Upper School Music

In the Upper School, we offer three optional programs: Upper School Choir, Chamber Ensemble, and Jazz Band.
Please note:

After 2 years of the pandemic, we are excited as we rebuild our Music program. We currently offer Chamber Ensemble as a course. We also have an excellent Madrigal Choir as a student run club.

In 2024, we plan on reviving the Jazz Ensemble/Eclectics and a student run gospel choir.

This year we've added Voice and Collaborative Piano to our offerings with Dr. Sarah Broomell. Dr. Broomell, performer, instructor, choral director and musical director taught music theory and piano in the theater division of The Boston Conservatory at Berklee. She is an accomplished, versatile pianist, singer and conductor of multiple styles of music including chamber music, opera, art song, choral singing, musical theater, folk and rock. As a valued accompanist, vocal coach, choral director, singer and teacher in institutions across the US and Canada, she is a proficient and open-minded collaborator.

We are focused on restoring our Music program as we recognize its critical role in the life of the school.

Upper School Choir

The Upper School Choir is open to all students in grades 9-12, regardless of musical experience. The choir works on a variety of repertoire: from Gregorian Chant to Motown; from Renaissance Polyphony to A Capella. Students also learn the skills of ensemble and tuning, and developing their own individual voices. The choir plays a part in leading worship in the school and represents the school in the wider community.

Jazz Band

Students in The Eclectics, Boston Trinity's jazz band, reflect the diversity of the school's student body through their individual approaches to making music and their distinctive musical backgrounds. Group and independent practice translate into the overall success and enjoyment of the ensemble. Collaborating with the instructor, students select repertoire and create arrangements that highlight the group's diversity and unique instrumentation and offer a meaningful understanding of jazz history and the masters of the jazz idiom. Opportunities for solo performance and small group features within songs are a signature of the ensemble.

Chamber Ensemble

The Chamber Music Ensemble is an opportunity for a small ensemble of musicians to study and perform classical chamber pieces. Music is chosen and arranged according to the membership of the ensemble. Typically, the group is comprised of a combination of strings, piano, woodwind, and brass. Students are carefully assessed and participants receive two hours of coaching each week. The Chamber Ensemble performs in at least 2 concerts during the year, as well as at several school events and occasional Chapel services.
