Violin Instructor, Music Educator, Performer

About Me

Passionate about pursuing excellence and seeking joy in creating music, Elise Wiesinger is an empathetic and encouraging violin teacher. She is familiar with several different pedagogical approaches, including Suzuki and Royal Conservatory of Music methods, and aims to tailor her teaching to each individual student’s goals. Elise understands the power that learning a musical instrument has had in her own life, and is excited to share in your musical journey and guide you along the way.

I am passionate about the power of live music and community engagement through music to open hearts and foster empathy and depth of feeling in a busy world. I began my violin studies in Vancouver, and went on to perform as a soloist with several orchestras in B.C., in addition to performing recitals and chamber music concerts throughout the Okanagan valley and Toronto in recent years. Many of my teachers during my formative years instilled a passion for teaching within me, and I am thrilled to be able to share in the joy of music with my own students.

I have been honoured to receive several awards from music festivals and competitions, including placings of Runner Up and Honourable Mentions at Performing Arts B.C. I also have been awarded the standing of First Class Honours with Distinction in several Royal Conservatory of Music Violin Performance Exams. I have played in several orchestras in B.C., Ontario, and Quebec, and am an avid chamber musician.

I earned a Bachelor of Music degree in Violin Performance from the University of Toronto, where I was awarded the University of Toronto Scholars Award upon my acceptance. I studied with Erika Raum at UofT and have enjoyed spending my recent summers studying and performing at summer festivals in B.C., Quebec, Italy, Slovenia, and Switzerland.

I am passionate about nurturing the student as a whole while teaching music. My teaching approach is informed by my own training in Suzuki and Royal Conservatory of Music pedagogy styles. I am familiar with Alexander Technique principles and prioritize overall wellbeing and the mental health of my students as I teach. I tailor lessons to students’ specific goals, whether that be mastering classical music or learning your favorite songs! I believe strongly in the power of music and the joy it can bring, and strive to infuse all my lessons with fun and enjoyment of music, while pursuing a high level of excellence in quality of playing. Learning the violin is a satisfying and rewarding endeavor, and I look forward to accompanying you along your musical journey!
