Music at Gioia House (Curricular)
We look forward to welcoming families to the Gioia House Music Showcase (Santa Sabina Hall) on Wednesday 18 November from 12:00 noon – 1:00pm, where students will share the skills, musicianship and confidence they have developed throughout this year!
In preparation, our Gioia House Strings are rehearsing a combined Year 5 and Year 6 performance, showcasing both musical progress and the strong culture of collaboration that has developed across the grades!
Our Brass, Woodwind and Percussion students (aka ‘Mini Maestros’) are refining repertoire within their year-level groups, preparing performances that highlight the technical and musical growth achieved through their classroom instrumental program.
Meanwhile, Gioia House Choir continues to work on essential choral technique, ensemble blend and expressive performance aspects, preparing a selection of songs for both the showcase and our end of year Thanksgiving Mass that celebrates the enthusiasm and commitment shown by students throughout the year. All these vibrant learning experiences are anchored in the theoretical learnings of weekly music class time with Mrs Pensini – and we are grateful to our whole team for the way these diverse experiences are supporting our learners at Santa!
Wonderful things are happening, and we look forward to sharing the achievements of these young musicians with you!
