Rosie Cocklin
Rosie has been fortunate enough to be surrounded by music for as long as she can remember. Growing up in the foothills of Mt Macedon in a musical family, she began learning piano at the age of 8 and singing was always present in the house. After being introduced to Opera and the world of classical voice in high school, she began formal vocal training at the age of 14.
She holds a Bachelor of Music with Honours from the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and has received multiple accolades including as a finalist in the National Liederfest where she received the Merlyn Quaife award. Rosie was a member of Opera Scholars Australia, and an inaugural Choral Scholar with the Melbourne Bach Choir. She has performed as an opera singer, in musical theatre and as a soloist in choral works.
As well as performing, Rosie is a passionate advocate for the arts and musical education and has taught singing, piano, rock bands, early-childhood music groups, and directed musical theatre productions. Rosie is particularly inspired by the incredible potential of music in promoting health and wellbeing. She completed her Master of Music Therapy at the University of Melbourne in 2023. Sharing the joy of music with individuals across the lifespan, Rosie's love of community-based experiences motivates her commitment to providing diverse creative spaces.
