INTRODUCING

   Lincoln Scott

BIO –Our Music Director is Lincoln Scott, who brings to the role a wealth of experience in singing and teaching singing.

Lincoln is a highly trained and experienced singer and singing teacher and has also recently progressed to Musical Director positions. As a child, he sang with the renowned Woden Valley Youth Choir and won several sections of the Australian National Eisteddfod. He initially pursued a career as an Army Officer, but his passion for music won out and he resigned from the Army in 1994 to study at Queensland Conservatorium and won the Musical Theatre section of the National Eisteddfod later that year, before transferring to Canberra School of Music (ANU). He later also did a post-graduate year at Trinity College of Music in London.

Lincoln started teaching singing in 2007 at a theatre school in the UK and then taught at The Music Practice in Sydney and started teaching private students from home. He moved to the Sunshine Coast early 2022, where he opened his teaching practice and starred in Encore at Noosa Arts Theatre. This year he conducted the music rehearsals for The Boy From Oz at Noosa Arts Theatre, and will be MD of their production of The Pirates of Penzance next year, and starred in Moonlight Serenade, part of Noosa Alive. He is excited to have taken on the role of Musical Director of The Sunshine Coast Choral Society from 2023.
