Hello! My name is Elizabeth J. Kelley. I am a violinist, music educator, private instructor, conductor, and musicologist, currently located in Phoenix, Arizona.
Growing up in a small Idaho community, I only knew a few professional musicians. However, these educators and performers continually inspired me and the community around them. I continually strive to follow in their footsteps and to empower through education and application.
At Kelley Strings & Score, I offer a wide range of musical services for families, local businesses, communities, music organizations, educators, and schools. I thrive on collaboration, and would love to work with you!
Offered in 30 minute, 45 minute, and 60 minute time-slots to students of all ages! Violin, viola, and cello lessons at Kelley Strings & Score include regular studio and technique classes in addition to opportunities to perform for friends and family.
Need music for a wedding, party, funeral, or other event? I provide solo violin music in a variety of styles including classical, fiddle, folk, pop, and jazz. Kelley Strings & Score can also organize a string quartet for these occasions.
Teaching beginning orchestra, particularly in the private schools comes with many challenges! I aim to support new orchestra teachers (particularly those without a string background) to navigate setting students up for success with a video series.
Are you a musical institution or school that need program notes for your upcoming season? Kelley Strings & Score can provide clear, knowledgable, and accessible program notes for one piece, a full program, or an entire season.
Contact me to learn more about my pre-concert lectures, sectionals and other coachings, and workshops with students.
I have a wide variety of ensemble playing, including symphony orchestras, chamber ensembles, and pit playing. Contact me if you are looking for a violinist or violist for your ensemble!
