Noah Coyne began sharing his music with his community at the age of 10, often improvising over contemporary church music or pieces composed by his older sister, Christiana. Family has always played a central role in his musical journey, and regular performances with his four siblings continue to be an important part of both his family life and personal recreation.
Noah is currently studying at the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM), where he is mentored by Adam Chalabi. He began his undergraduate studies at the Melbourne Conservatorium, working with Professor Liz Sellars, before completing his Bachelor’s degree at the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University, where he studied under Michele Walsh.
While at Griffith, Noah earned several notable accolades, including the Raoul P. Neil and Airdrie P. Neil Foundation Scholarship (2024), the Paganini Prize (2024), and the Griffith Award for Academic Excellence (2023). He has also participated in various side-by-side programs with prestigious ensembles such as the Melbourne Symphony, Queensland Symphony, and the Australian String Quartet.
A passionate advocate for early music, Noah credits his mentor Rachel Beesly, who guided him in 2019, with sparking his deep interest in this genre. He believes that exploring new expressive possibilities in early music often leads to greater creative insight in contemporary works.
Outside of music, Noah has a love for dance and attended weekly modern jive lessons before moving to Melbourne. He enjoys spending time with his friends and family and sharing stories with the people he holds dear.
