About Elizabeth

I’m Elizabeth Lee, a Toronto-based cellist, concert curator, and dedicated educator with nearly two decades of experience performing and teaching. My early musical life included performances with the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra and appearances in Italy and Chicago—experiences that sparked a lifelong commitment to artistry, collaboration, and musical connection. I hold a Master of Music and a Performance Diploma from Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, where I was honored with the Artistic Excellence Award, and a Bachelor of Music in Cello Performance with a Minor in Music Education from McGill University. A formative apprenticeship with the National Arts Centre Orchestra’s Institute of Orchestral Studies deepened my orchestral training and exposed me to inspiring conductors and colleagues early in my career. International performance highlights include chamber collaborations in South Korea, festival appearances in Europe and North America, and artistic connections with celebrated musicians such as Matt Haimovitz, the Pacifica Quartet, and Joshua Bell. I continue to perform in solo and chamber settings and to curate collaborative projects that bring audiences closer to the emotional core of music. While performance fuels me, teaching is at the heart of my work. I teach students of all ages and levels—from first-time beginners to advanced, audition-track musicians. My lessons balance technical clarity with imagination: strong tone, posture, bow control, and intonation are always paired with listening, musical storytelling, and expressive freedom. Many of my students prepare successfully for RCM exams, perform in recitals, and develop a confident, personal relationship with their instrument. I’d be delighted to support your musical goals—whether you’re starting fresh, returning after a break, or looking to take your playing to the next level. I’m happy to work with students across Canada and internationally. Current and former student/parent references are available upon request.

My teaching method is rooted in a balance of Suzuki philosophy and the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) curriculum to support technical growth, musical literacy, and artistic confidence. I guide each student through a thoughtfully sequenced journey: developing posture, tone, bow fluency, and left-hand facility—while also encouraging listening, creativity, and interpretation. Whether we’re building foundational skills or refining advanced repertoire, I aim to make each lesson both purposeful and personally meaningful. I frequently draw from the following resources, adjusting to each student's level and goals: * Suzuki Cello School (Volumes 1–7 * RCM Cello Repertoire and Etudes (Prep through Level 8 for reading and progression) * Scales for Young Cellists by Alwin Schroeder * Selected études by Dotzauer or Popper (as appropriate) * Custom materials for duets, improvisation, and imaginative exploration In addition to physical texts, I often share recordings, annotated PDFs, and visual tools to support home practice and independent learning. My goal is to help every student feel grounded in their technique while remaining curious, expressive, and connected to the music they’re creating.
