Michelle Morgan

Michelle Morgan is a singer/songwriter and community music facilitator, who specialises in providing song-writing and singing workshops with a supportive and healing focus. Michelle has a natural gift for leading songs in groups, and has enhanced this gift through training with Community Music Victoria in the community singing model. In this model, all are welcome to participate, groups learn by ear, and the benefits of singing together are acknowledged and celebrated. Michelle developed her teaching skills over a number of years through teaching music to children in the Mini Maestro’s program. She is currently studying jazz and contemporary performance at NMIT.

Her formal studies in Health Sciences (Public Health, with Honours) and Pastoral Care have deepened her understanding of the importance of social connectedness and community participation for good health. Through River of Song, Michelle creates safe, welcoming and meaningful spaces in which individuals can connect and freely express through the medium of sound. She has run singing sessions for Nillumbik Community Health Service, Community Music Victoria, Banyule City Council, Darebin Music Feast, The Art of Living Awake, La Trobe University, The Gawler Foundation and private groups.

In singing workshops, Michelle incorporates fun warm ups and songs that are easy and quick to learn. The intention is to ensure that all can participate to their fullest ability, and enjoy the process of creating sound together.
