meet the teacher
For as long as she can remember, Moraig, a.k.a. MJ, has had two great loves: performing arts and people.
Growing up in a family where singing and making music was second nature to breathing, it was only natural that she would eventually enter and complete the 5 year vocal scholarship program at Perth Modern School. Completely hooked, she then spent 5 more years at the W.A. Academy of Performing Arts pursuing her love of music, where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in classical music.
More recently, she has followed her heart further into many different musical styles, and loves to sing for her own pleasure and anyone else's who will listen. And most importantly, in the last 8 years she has found a very real joy in passing onto others what she has been given -- through teaching!
Her love for people shapes and influences everything she does. Her coaching style flows from a place of deep appreciation and respect for the uniqueness of each individual, from musical taste to learning style.
Because of this, you can expect that each singing lesson will be tailored uniquely to your needs, and that achieving what YOU are wanting to achieve will become her mission!
Moraig is based south of the river in Perth, Western Australia. She also offers online lessons, so even if you aren’t close or don’t want to travel you are still 100% welcome!
Why should you book a lesson today?
a very good question…with an unexpected answer
Why am I so convinced that booking a singing lesson right now is the best thing you’ll do for yourself all year?
Here’s the thing: singing isn’t really about singing.
What do I mean by that?
Only this: singing is making a musical noise, BUT….iIt’s also deeply connected to who you are as a person and where you’re at in life. When your body is the instrument you’re playing, everything going on with you impacts the sound you make.
So how does this help you? I’m so glad you asked!
In short, booking a singing lesson now is an investment in your longterm future. In your incalculably precious self and the life you want to live.
There are now so many studies that show the benefits of bring involved with music. There’s a dang good reason it is prescribed as a form of therapy! Expressing yourself through music has been proven to heal the brain, release and resolve the emotions, and increase confidence in every area of someone’s life.
You may think you’ll book a singing lesson just to get better at the mechanics of the physical act of singing, and the good news is that you certainly will improve your technique! All of my fun and practical exercises will give you the tools you need to take your singing as far as you want to.
However, the even better news is So. Much. More.
Every time you train with these singing exercises, you are also training your brain, body, and emotions to be more confident, more whole, more free, more of you. It is a proven fact that singing training positively impacts your breathing, your posture, and the projection of your voice (both speaking and singing), while these translate into increased confidence for you, as well as others perceiving that increased confidence - which can lead to all sorts of open doors!
And why is this important?
It’s important because you are, and your life is. There is something inside you waiting to be expressed that is in no one else, and that the world needs. I am convinced it is my life’s mission to help you connect to that specialness inside you, and help you learn to let it out confidently. And what is the primary way we communicate and share ourselves with others?
Using our voice. Your voice.
Your unique, one-of-a-kind voice that deserves to be heard. You may not be destined to become the next Beyonce or the next Pavarotti, but that’s more than ok - we don’t need you to be them anyway! We need you to be you, happy, confident, expressing yourself the way you’ve dreamed of feeling free enough to do.
That’s what I offer, what I’m after.
Rest assured I will be giving you the very best technical training possible, bringing all my training & experience as a musician to our lessons. But even more than that, I am committed to seeing your confidence and self-belief grow. So you can learn to sing whatever it is you want to sing, so you can feel alive and excited at what you are capable of.
Book now to come see me for some singing lessons, and you just might find you leave forever changed.
In fact, I’m expecting it.

testimonials
Don’t just take my word for it! Here are some happy singing students weighing in…
Kate: "I loved attending singing lessons with Moraig. Having no previous musical or singing training, the thought of beginning singing lessons was very scary. However Moraig made the whole experience very enjoyable and comfortable, she has mastered the art of teaching her passion to others whilst igniting a passion within them. After only a few lessons I could feel not only my confidence in my singing had increased, but I began to feel more confident as an individual. Thank you Moraig."
Cameron: “Singing lessons with Moraig have been so much fun. It’s the highlight of my week, she has helped me so much, and in such an unusual and funny way. Thank you Moraig for teaching me so much!”
Nina: “I thoroughly enjoyed learning with Moraig. I walked into the lesson, with absolutely no singing background and very little confidence in my singing ability. Moraig was able to pull my voice out of me, a voice I never thought I had! I left feeling inspired and confident.”
Benjamin: “I did not realise how interactive the learning would be. Way better than sitting in a classroom!”
Laura: “Music is a bit out of my comfort zone, but with Moraig I felt less pressure to “perform”. The lessons were fun and playful, interactive and engaging…I enjoyed them thoroughly.”
