About Megan

Megan Farison is a speaker, musician, educator, and author. Her memoir, Dissonance, became an Amazon Bestseller in multiple categories upon its release in November, 2024. Author Stephen Mills (Chosen: A Memoir of Stolen Boyhood)) describes Dissonance as, “A courageous and riveting exploration of childhood sexual trauma, and how it reverberates into adulthood with devastating consequences.” Megan has been a voice coach and choir director for nearly twenty years—her energetic teaching style incorporates a blend of vocal and choral pedagogy that empowers the individual singer as well as the ensemble.

Megan taught for ten years at secondary schools throughout Michigan and Indiana, leading choral programs and directing theatrical productions. In winter of 2022, she served as the Interim Choir Director at Saginaw Valley State University, where she also provided private voice instruction.
