Music at Gioia House (Curricular)

GH Choir

The Gioia House Choir, made up of all Year 5 and 6 students, meets each week to prepare for upcoming performances, including the annual Gala Concert and many other wonderful enriching experiences along the way. Through their rehearsals, students develop critical listening skills, teamwork and they build confidence while exploring a wide range of musical repertoire and approaches. We look forward to hearing some wonderful music come to life this year!

GH Instrumental

The Gioia Instrumental Program is off and racing this week, with Year 5 students starting the exciting process of thoughtfully selecting their instrument preferences. Over the coming months, our Year 5 ‘Mini Maestros’ (Brass, Woodwind, and Percussion) will begin their exciting journey on their new instruments, while the Gioia House Strings commence rehearsals and continue building their ensemble skills.

Year 6 students are diving straight into the year, and we are excited to see the momentum of last year built upon with progress, joy and achievement.

We cannot wait to see the productivity and creativity that unfolds throughout the year.

With such a diverse range of activities and approaches, students will experience music from many angles, building skills that connect across their ensembles, classes, and performances. It promises to be an exciting year of creativity and music‑making.
