At Levine
Elizabeth has been on the Levine faculty since 2014.
“I love being in a community of such supportive and talented musicians. It’s wonderful to collaborate together and work to help our students be better musicians.”
Teaching Philosophy and Approach
“It is my goal to empower students to find their true vocal timbre devoid of any outside manipulation. I believe it is paramount for students to understand the mechanics of their instrument by giving them all the knowledge and tools they need to analyze their own voice.”
Personal
