While at university, she founded and directed the Edinburgh Napier Baroque Ensemble, and played with several other groups. In addition to her keyboard playing, she is also and experienced tenor singer, having performed in operas and choral works ranging from intimate chamber ensembles to large scale symphonic choruses. Dee is also an experienced music typesetter, and has produced new editions of works for choirs and orchestras across Scotland, including Stirling University Choir and the Afton Ensemble.
