In addition to her coaching experience, Sarah also holds a Bachelor of Sport Science, majoring in Exercise Physiology from Deakin University.

Welcome To Canterbury Mr Warwick Adeney! | Queensland Symphony Orchestra's Former 20+ Year Concertmaster 🎻
https://youtu.be/Spw7jiHgYxk
After more than two decades as the Queensland Symphony Orchestra's (QSO) Concertmaster, Mr Warwick Adeney has joined Canterbury College as a Studio Music Teacher.
Earlier this year, Warwick led and performed in his final concert - Ode To Joy - at QSO's first Maestro Concert of the 2023 Season.
Born into a large family of violinists, he trained alongside three of his siblings at the Queensland Conservatorium, where he learnt under Dr Anthony Doheny.
Mr Adeney has been playing in orchestras since 1984, shortly after graduating as a Gold Medal graduate.
After graduation, Warwick joined the Queensland Theatre Orchestra under Georg Tintner and gained his prestigious Concertmaster status in 1989.
Warwick is married to Michele, a fellow musician, and is blessed with nine children, all of whom learn a variety of instruments.
Please enjoy our video showing Warwick in action, and learn about what he looks forward to contributing to Canterbury's Music Program.
To read more about Warwick and his time at QSO please visit this QSO weblink HERE.
The Queensland Symphony Orchestra has also released this tribute video of Warwick playing The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams - which captures the essence of what he has brought to the QSO over his many years with the company.
