My name is Lorène Charmetant. I grew up in a very musical family in France, and had the chance to be introduced to music as a kid, attending both piano and choir lessons. Always passionate by sound and voice, I quickly grew a strong interest in a wide variety of music.
As a teenager, I got involved into jazz music, discovering a whole world of improvisation at the Conservatoire de Lyon, in France. There, I studied vocal jazz, improvisation, ear-training, musical theory.
I completed my education at the University of Sherbrooke in Québec, which offered me a new cultural approach to transmit music in a fun and compassionate environment.
I have been teaching music since then as a private teacher in my Yukon-based home, as well as workshops in schools and music camps.
