1. What is a Performathon? A Performathon is a series of fundraising performances for students and faculty. Through contributions, we will be raising money for our Scholarship Fund.
2. Why do you need a Performathon? A tenet of all community music schools is to provide affordable music education for everyone. While we try to keep our tuition as competitive as possible, there are still many people who cannot afford to study music. In 2009-2010 Indian Hill awarded over $37,000 in need-based scholarships through the generosity of donors to our Scholarship Endowment, and through contributors to our Performathon. We want to continue to expand our scholarship awards and increase the number of students we can assist.
3. How will funds be raised for scholarships? Students and faculty who are playing in recital on March 19 and 20 will ask people to sponsor their performance. We need approximately $21 per minute to raise our goal of $14,000 through the Performathon. A student playing a 3 minute piece would try to raise at least $63. This is merely a guideline – every contribution collected beyond this goal means more children, teens and adults can study music at Indian Hill!
4. How can I make a contribution? You can pay by cash, check (
payable to Indian Hill Music) and credit card. Secure credit card contributions can be made online through
FIRSTGIVING. Visit

5. How much of the donation will be used for scholarships? 100% of individual cash contributions will go directly to the Scholarship Fund. Your donation is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
6. Can I attend the recitals? Yes! We encourage everyone to come to the recitals on Friday evening and all day Saturday. Students will provide you with information about the recital for which they are scheduled. We hope our sponsors will stay for one hour of the recital in order to provide a good audience for each of our performers.
7. Besides being a sponsor, how can I help? There are a number of volunteer opportunities available during the recitals (like handing out programs, checking in students, selling refreshments). Call the school office (978) 486-9524 if you are interested in being a volunteer.
Thank you for your support! We look forward to seeing you on March 19 and 20.
Indian Hill scholarships are made possible through the generosity of The Albert and Elizabeth Stone Scholarship Fund, The Charles Lincoln Gagnebin Memorial Fund, The Linda Marley Forrest Scholarship Fund, and from individual and corporate contributors to our annual Performathon.
