Samuel Joseph Dolin (22 August 1917 – 13 January 2002) was a Canadian composer, music educator, and arts administrator.
An example of one of his more traditional works is his Serenade for Strings, which was premiered by the CBC Symphony Orchestra at the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, Norway.
The latter work was premiered on 31 March 1988 in a concert honoring the composer's 70th birthday at the Jane Mallett Theatre, St Lawrence Centre, which was broadcast on the CBC Radio program Two New Hours.
In 1966 he founded the RCMT's electronic music studio after touring similar facilities in the United States and Europe.
Dolin often performed his students' compositions in faculty recitals or arranged public concerts exhibiting their work at the conservatory.
The compositional style of his pupils is highly varied, which demonstrates Dolin's remarkable ability to adapt his teaching to the interests of each individual student.
Some of his notable pupils are: Milton Barnes, Stuart Broomer, Brian Cherney, Steven Gellman, Herbie Helbig, Jim Hiscott, Paul Hoffert, Scott Irvine, Lorraine Johnson, Moe Koffman, Gary Kulesha, Larysa Kuzmenko, Joseph Lerner, Michel Longtin, Gene Martynec, John Mills-Cockell, Michael Pepa, Allan Rae, Eric Robertson, John Robertson, Clark Ross, Ann Southam, Ben Steinberg, Timothy Sullivan, Roman Toi, Alan Torok, Ben Trowell, Ruth Watson Henderson, John Welsman, E. C. Woodley, Wes Wraggett, and Jack Zaza.
