Saraband Music is owned by Patrice Connelly, who has the degree of M.Mus (Hons) from the University of Sydney. She plays and teaches viola da gamba, and has edited music for viols published by Dovehouse Editions (Canada), PRB Productions (California) and the Viola da Gamba Society of Great Britain, and written articles and reviews for a number of journals. Her early musical studies were undertaken at the Conservatorium High School in Sydney, before progressing to the Music Department at the University of Sydney. She began playing piano at the age of 8, and violin at age 12. During her B.Mus, she also played viola before giving up both violin and viola for the viola da gamba. Patrice's other interests include growing organic vegetables, travel, nutrition, genealogy, archaeology and pre-history, the environment, and reading - that is, when she isn't playing with her cat Scuzzi (who has a terrific webpage!) Detective novels are a favourite. |

She has also studied a wide variety of natural therapies courses including a Diploma of Nutrition and a Diploma of Energetic Healing at Nature Care College in Sydney prior to moving to Queensland, and has completed a Bachelor of Natural Therapies at Southern Cross University and her Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy at Health Schools Australia. She's had several peer-reviewed papers published in the Journal of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society and writes for other organisations as well. See her Saraband health website.

Patrice is also an extremely keen amateur genealogist, with roots in Ireland, England, Scotland and a few offshoots in Jersey and Germany. For more information, go to Saraband Genes. If she could have another go at this life, she'd probably choose archaeology or at least some research discipline!
