Music at Gioia House (Curricular)

Gioia House has started strongly for Term 2. The Gioia House Strings program has continued to learn and perform a wide range of repertoire. Year 6 Mini Maestros has continued to build strongly on their ensemble skills learning pieces like Dragon Dance to challenge them. In the Year 5 Mini Maestros program, the students had their very first opportunity to perform as a full band and have started to prepare Beethoven’s Ninth. In these large full band sessions, the students learn and understand what it looks like to work as a large musical team. To listen to each other and understand where their instrument fits in the grand scheme of the music. 

As the students receive more music it is vitally important that students practise regularly so that they can continue to grow and develop as well-rounded musicians. It will also be more enjoyable for the students.

Students now have all four pieces that they will be performing at the Gala Concert at the Sydney Town Hall on Tuesday 24 June!  Supporting rehearsal resources for Gioia House Choir can be found on Veritas Online. We encourage students to use these resources at home to help their individual development. 

Stay tuned for information about the forthcoming Voices of Hope Gala Concert on Tuesday 24 June 2025 at the Sydney Town Hall, which will feature every child from Gioia House as part of our massed choir (alongside Years 4 and 7) as further expression of their rich musical opportunities at Santa Sabina.

Formal communication will be sent to performers shortly with key details about rehearsals in the leadup to the event and tickets will go on sale at 9:00am on Monday 19 May 2025.
