Music Program: Gesu School
has a full time music specialist for kindergarten through grade eight. Working along with
the Curriculum for the Arts in the Diocese of Cleveland, students participate in a variety
of musical activities. Students have a
well-rounded education in music with opportunities in singing, playing rhythm instruments,
moving rhythmically, and studying music history. A recorder program begins in grade
three. Orff and Kodaly methods are also used
by our music teacher, Mrs. Mary-Jo Widmann.
Students have the opportunity to join Choral Club (grades 5-8). Choral Club meets on Tuesdays after school. This past year they sang at Legacy Village and John Carroll University. Choral Club also participates in monthly School Liturgies. Students have auditioned and participated in The Cleveland Orchestra Children's Chorus, Heights Youth Theatre and other community music events. This
past school year students had many opportunities to perform and showcase their talents.
Until our new musicals are under way you may
enjoy looking back at pictures from last year's performances.
