Samantha Cohen was drawn to the lute following her studies in Classical Guitar at the VCA. She received numerous awards and grants to further her studies overseas; including a Churchill Fellowship, a scholarship to the Civica Scuola di Musica in Milan and received funding from the Australia Council to study with the legendary lute pedagogue, Pat O’Brien in New York. She is active as a performer of lutes, baroque guitar and theorbo, appearing and recording with local groups including Genesis Baroque, Elysium Ensemble and MBO. She has played with many of Australia’s leading orchestras including The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Pinchgut Opera, ACO, Orchestra Victoria, MSO, and Melbourne Chamber Orchestra.

🎶 Singing Lessons for Little Voices 🎶

I’m excited to announce my latest offering, individual singing sessions for children in their 4-year-old kindergarten year, or first year of primary school (Ages 4 - 6).

These sessions are ideal for children who:
• absolutely love to sing
• are shy or quietly finding their confidence
• would benefit from gentle encouragement using their voice
• enjoy music, imagination, movement, and connection
• thrive in calm, nurturing one-on-one settings

Lessons are playful, relationship-based, and carefully paced to help children feel safe, capable, and successful. Through singing, musical games, rhythm, listening, imitation, and creative play, children gradually build confidence in themselves and their communication.

As both a speech pathologist and classically trained singer, I bring a strong understanding of early childhood communication development, while keeping sessions firmly grounded in joy, music, connection, and the natural development of the child’s voice.

Parent involvement is warmly encouraged, particularly for younger or more hesitant children, as shared musical experiences can be such a powerful way to strengthen connection and confidence 💛

Based in Warragul. Feel free to send me a message if you’d like to chat about whether sessions might be a good fit for your child.
