Hi, there, I'm Liz Craig, an award winning, Toronto-based pianist with a passion for making every event special through live music. I offer custom tailored piano performances for over 100 weddings and events each year in southern Ontario. I am the proud recipient of the Best of Weddings award from the Knot.com for live wedding music. While classically trained, I perform a wide variety of styles of music including my own arrangements of jazz and the newest popular songs. I love using my music to help others celebrate important moments!

 

Besides performing regularly, I have been teaching piano and music theory lessons since 2006. I provide a student-centered curriculum which focuses on developing musical literacy from beginning to advanced levels. I also have experience adjudicating at ten different musical festivals and am a past member of both the Canadian Music Festival Adjudicators’ Association and the RCM College of Examiners. I am quite active with my local Ontario Registered Music Teachers Association where I serve as Past President of the Central Toronto Branch.

 

In case you want to learn more about me and how I got started playing weddings and events, take a listen to this interview on the Top Music podcast.

 

In my formative years, I had the privilege of studying with Juilliard alumnus Dr. David Moroz at the University of Manitoba where I graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance. I also hold ARCT Diplomas in both Piano Performance and Pedagogy.
