From a very young age Michelle was sharing her love of music with others. Attending a performing arts elementary school, middle school and high school gave her wonderful opportunities to experience the amazing impact the arts can have on one's life.

She grew up with an immense appreciation for all forms of art and emerged herself in theater and dance. From birth, however, Michelle demonstrated a particular interest and connection to music and singing in particular. Before she was talking she was singing and spent most of her childhood making up songs and performing them for anyone who would listen. She found music to be the ideal way to express herself and always knew she wanted to help others connect with their inner musical ability as well.

Growing up in a house rich with knowledge of the body-mind connection, Michelle began educating herself on the various healing aspects of music. She was intrigued by the various methods and forms of music therapy and sound healing and began using what she learned to assist herself and her loved ones.

Michelle found that each person required a specific program and began documenting her experiences and research and also began sharing this information with others. In doing so, Michelle realized the immense need for authentic self-expression in the world and committed to her calling of bringing more love, through authentic self-expression, into the world one voice at a time.

Michelle graduated with honors from the University of Redlands with Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance. She completed a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica in 2007 and completed her emphasis in consciousness, health and healing in 2008.

With over 15 years of extensive musical training and experience in vocal technique and performance, she enjoys working with all ages as well as all musical levels. Michelle combines her extensive musical training and experience with her love for and education in Spiritual Psychology. She has developed a unique method of coaching which enables students to get in touch with and develop their unique singing voice. With this approach, she not only works with students on the technique of singing, but can also coach them through the process of releasing any blocks and/or fears about expressing their self and their voice.

Michelle also teaches classes and workshops on a variety of topics with the intension of teaching others how they may use the amazing power of music to transform and heal their lives.

Sing For Your Spirit and Make a Joyful Noise Music Healing Studio is dedicated to empowering others through Authentic Self-Expression.

My intention is to share the amazing healing powers of music with all. By coaching others how they may divinely express themselves through music, I assist them in awakening their divine gifts within. By providing both individual coaching as well as classes and workshops, safe and sacred spaces are created in which deep healing and transformation can occur. As one acknowledges the beauty inside, they are able to outwardly express that beauty and divinity in authentic and empowering ways.

"I am so grateful to have had the privilege of working with Michelle Arthur. I briefly took singing lessons from someone else years ago, in which I had no fun and struggled quite a bit, and that was the extent of my singing experience. I decided to take lessons with Michelle to fulfill a life long dream of wanting to sing...just for me. My intention was to find a teacher who was loving, supportive, fun, encouraging, passionate and very good at what they do. I found this and so much more in Michelle. I honestly couldn't imagine working with anyone else. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in singing or expressing themselves to give yourself the gift of working with Michelle. She is a talented, beautiful, loving soul who will gently guide you through your own journey of creative soul expression!"

"I came to Michelle because I wanted to overcome my life long fear of singing. Even more importantly, I wanted to find my voice, both in a literal and figurative sense. I wasn't interested in learning to sing for performance's sake — I wanted to cut through my fear of singing as well as find a way to stand up authentically in my voice.

"Michelle was the perfect voice coach for me because she has such a holistic approach to singing. She taught me how to use my voice, much like a guitar teacher would teach you to play an instrument. She used chakra work to help me get in touch with where different tones resonated within my body.

"And I had fun the whole time. Importantly, she made me feel so comfortable, never once was I self-conscious. So while American Idol hasn't called yet, I have so much more fun rocking out in my car to my fav tunes — because I'm no longer worried about how I sound. Thank you Michelle, for helping me find and liberate my voice!"

"Michelle is an inspiration. She makes it safe and fun to explore this tender task of singing. She was able to explain things in terms that made long-elusive concepts quite understandable. I'm SO glad I found her!"
