One Big Voice: Music Education Classes for Homeschoolers

Beginning early last month, One Big Voice (OBV) has been offering music education classes for children who are homeschooled within the Perth and Peel regions. These engaging classes are held inside WA’s most inspiring music venue, Perth Concert Hall, renowned for its world-class facilities.   

OBV Ed’s founders Donna Marwick-O’Brien (OBV Creative Director) and Kiki McCormack (OBV Regional Director) are teaming up to personally deliver fun, interactive music sessions based on the WA Arts Curriculum. Students who participate in these classes will also have the incredible opportunity to engage with musicians from the West Australian Symphony Orchestra.

The feedback provided to One Big Voice by parents and students has been overwhelmingly positive. 

“After only three weeks of my year one child attending One Big Voice music education classes, I am already seeing great strides being made in her musical education. Gracelyn is learning and understanding different musical notes, their names, and how to read sheet music. She is also being taught life affirming lessons through the music chosen by the wonderful teachers about self-confidence, inclusion, and how to make a positive difference in not just her own life but also others’.  I have no doubt that this music program is covering curricula from other subjects such as Health and Humanities and Social Sciences through the songs and incorporating Math while they are learning beats and tempo.  I am so grateful that we have access to this valuable program as a home educating family.” Rachael Nash – Parent

“This is my son’s second week with One Big Voice and I can thoroughly recommend it. There are three age groups of 40/50-minute sessions of non-stop singing, dancing, movement, fun and laughter. Donna and Kiki are amazing with the kids – friendly and so engaging. I am in no way affiliated with One Big Voice other than as a participant and I feel it’s definitely worth considering for your homeschooled children.” Melissa Mesics – Parent

“I have three kids attending. One in each age level. Definitely highly recommend it. Plus, hanging out in the concert hall is awesome.”  Laura Mascaro – Parent

“Yes!!! My children love it too. Donna and Kiki are absolutely fantastic teachers.” Jeanette Watson – Parent
