Music at Gioia House (Curricular)

Gioia House Choir

Gioia House Choir is exploring more repertoire this term, with sectionals now focused on preparing for their final Mass in Term 4. As part of this special occasion, Year 5 students will farewell Year 6 with a heartfelt performance of Light of Grace, while Year 6 will offer Carry the Light as a musical gift in return – celebrating connection, gratitude and growth through song.

The choir continues to polish their repertoire, including Firefly and Sweet Silent Night, with a renewed emphasis on refining tone, phrasing, and dynamic expression. Their dedication and sensitivity promise a moving and memorable performance at the Fra Angelico Festival. 

Gioia House Instrumental

 Gioia House instrumental students are continuing to grow as young musicians, deepening their skills and confidence on their chosen instruments. This term, they’re focused on strengthening their note recognition and refining tone and pitch production – laying the foundation for expressive, ensemble-ready playing.

In band rehearsals, Year 5 are tackling an exciting arrangement of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, exploring its iconic motifs and dynamic contrasts. Meanwhile, Year 6 are bringing energy and precision to their performance of Dragon Dance, a vibrant piece that showcases rhythmic interest and practises ensemble skills.
