Elizabeth LeVitre

Elizabeth began playing violin at the age of 5. While initially beginning at the behest of her mother, she quickly became fascinated with the violin and music making. She was involved in many orchestras and chamber groups in junior high and high school, including the Metropolitan Youth Symphony and the Youth Symphony of the Southwest. She was also a member of the Arizona All-State Orchestra in 2016, 2017, and 2018. Her string quartet, Perfect 4th Quartet, placed 2nd in the Arizona MusicFest Competition in 2016 and 2017. It was from these various experiences Elizabeth fell in love with the violin and ultimately decided to pursue a career in it. 

In her home state of Arizona, Elizabeth studied with Jing Zeng of the Phoenix Symphony, before graduating from the University of Utah with a bachelors degree, magna cum laude, in violin performance, under the tutelage of Lenny Braus, former associate concertmaster of the Utah Symphony. Additionally, she has received Suzuki trainings for violin books 1-3. She plans to continue her studies and obtain a graduate degree. 

As a teacher, Elizabeth seeks to foster in students a love for music, while also encouraging their personal development and growth. In addition to music, she is an avid reader and thrifter. She and her husband can often be found buying one thrifted antiques for their home or spontaneously painting a room.
