ABOUT SALLY
Sally Cooper is a singer-songwriter, registered music therapist, and vocal toning practitioner based in Queensland, Australia.
Singer-Songwriter & Performer
Sally is a highly experienced vocalist with decades of live performance behind her, including long-term residencies in five-star hotels across Australia, Asia, and the Middle East. Her work has taken her throughout NSW, South East Queensland and the Northern Territory, and internationally to Singapore, Bangkok, Malaysia, Seoul, China, Bahrain, Doha, Japan, India, Tahiti, and Dubai.
She is known for her relaxed, confident stage presence and her ability to read a room and create atmosphere with ease. Her voice—warm, expressive, and blues-tinged—moves naturally between subtle, intimate phrasing and more powerful moments. Her sound draws on blues, acoustic roots, and jazz, creating a rich, organic style.
Alongside her performance work, Sally is an established songwriter whose original music reflects emotional honesty, independence, and lived experience.
Music Therapy & Consultancy
Sally works as a registered music therapist in Brisbane, supporting people in aged care, disability, and dementia settings, as well as offering consultancy for families and care providers. This is a clinical, therapeutic service focused on individual outcomes and is separate from her live music performances.
Sally originally trained as a registered nurse in Brisbane. (Bachelor of nursing). While no longer part of her professional work, this early background informed her later pathway into music therapy. She obtained her Master of music therapy degree from University of Queensland in 2012.
Vocal Toning & Sound Work
Sally also offers vocal toning and sound-based sessions, working with the voice as a tool for personal exploration and wellbeing. Drawing on specialised training in body-centred voice work (Freeing the singing voice and vocal toning), she provides a space for people to explore their voice in a non-performance setting. No singing experience is necessary.

“Sally is very patient and supportive, and has already helped me strengthen my singing confidence and provide me with some new (and really appropriate) challenges. As a result I’ve been able to do some things I wouldn’t have believed I could do”
Meredith Brothers
“I have been having singing/voice lessons with Sally now for 6 months, as well as having attended her group Song Circles. Sally approaches her singing tuition in a unique way and tailors it to the individual student. She does not use a "one size fits all approach" which is refreshing, as I have had singing teachers before who try and put me into a box and teach me a rigid method (their method). Sally works with your natural ability and explores every area of your voice so that you can sing with freedom across all of your vocal range. Sally draws on her vast experience from many different singing styles, methods and cultures to bring her unique teaching approach to you. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is wanting to learn how to sing- either for pleasure or professionally”.
