Margaret won a scholarship to complete her vocal training at the prestigious Royal Scottish Conservatoire of Music and Drama. She graduated with a Masters in vocal performance having already gained a First Class Honours Degree in Music Education.

Since graduating Margaret’s career has continued to rise.  She signed a recording contract with Universal Records Australia and has been hailed as a unique find:
