Beautiful Music For Difficult Times.
Balfour M. Mount  (Canadian Professor)
" Music has touched the human soul across all boundaries of time, space, and genre....Perhaps, in its vibratory nature, music opens us to a greater appreciation of our essential connectedness to the cosmos, our oneness with all that is." 

Marguerite has personal and extensive experience and training with intuitive  improvised music, facilitating  creative expression in the written song form,  with Playback Theatre, working as an Interpreter of Spanish, Italian and the French languages in the Legal system  and  working (for over thirty years} in Children's Services, with special needs,  refugee and migrant children and their respective families.

Marguerite also teaches, mentors and facilitates singing, song writing  and performance to a wide range of ages. From primary school age children to adults. Her students can expect to learn breath techniques, pitch, projection, articulation, dynamic range, rhythm, melody, harmony and enunciation. 

Marguerite's ability to share and teach Intuitive Music has been the greatest tool available to facilitating  an immediate and positive  transformation.  Music has directly  empowered  clients  in  dealing effectively with:  


  • relief of stress and anxiety through music making,  
  • dealing with uncertainty, assisting in decision making,
  • dealing with isolation and loneliness by bringing people together in the act of music making,  
  • dealing with trauma, through the catharsis of writing lyrics / song.
  • the song writing process enables participants with control over their innate creativity- by capturing emotions and moods and putting them in song form which only they have created. 
  • Participating with others builds resilience and hope  through the act of music making.
  • Individuals  build sustainable relationships  outside of the workshop.
  • The song writing and music making process builds confidence and self esteem in having effectively achieved  something previously thought impossible.
  • It enables  everyone involved to feel  connected  and joyous.

Marguerite herself has direct experience at working with cancer patients using music as a restorative  therapy  when she herself was a patient at Blue Gum Lodge receiving radiation therapy. 

The best thing about Intuitive Music Therapy  is that no one needs to know any music theory, singing and or playing instruments. All it asks of us is  to engage our  imagination.

Marguerite's workshops are designed to be client and group specific. These  are always safe and  fun.

Marguerite offers a variety of taylor made  workshops to suit the different needs of each client/group.

Marguerite is culturally respectful and sensitive.

Marguerite is fluent in Spanish, French, Italian and English and can run the workshops in these languages if need be.
