About Lorraine

I have a Honors B.A. in Music, a B.A. in Communications and am currently doing a Master's in Vocal Pedagogy at Northeastern Illinois University. I teach voice, piano and music theory and sight-singing. I am a fun loving person so I love to mix good humour in any learning environment. I also teach French, to both singers and non-singers alike. I am perfectly bilingual English-French, grew up in French-speaking Canada and lived 18 years in Belgium. I help singers improve their French diction for their auditions or recitals and am available to help choirs singing French repertoire as well.

"Learn from the best and choose Lorraine!!"

- Cindy S. from Arlington Heights, IL

Lorraine is the absolute BEST French tutor that there could ever be. She is a complete and perfect NATIVE SPEAKER which means that if you choose her, you will be starting out at the top. But that’s not all- Not only is she fully able to speak and interact with the language, but she can also write it and understand it phonetically. After only being tutored by Lorraine for one month, I was able to reach advanced proficiency in speaking according to the Oral Proficiency Interview, a college interview for becoming a French teacher. This tutor is the ultimate choice for you because she also will answer ALL of your questions and assist you completely. Moreover, Lorraine is fun and upbeat and she will help you to reach your full potential!!!

More On Lorraine's Subjects

ear training

I graduated with my B.A. in Music Magna Cum Laude and am now pursuing my master's in Vocal Pedagogy. As a voice and piano teacher, I find that ear-training is a natural part of all musical education. Developing the ear is essential to becoming a good musician.


piano

I teach piano to people of all ages, from children age 4 up to adults in their 50's. In our lessons, I will help you discover the joys of playing an instrument, and how to play with feeling. I will help you compose your own pieces as I believe that a well rounded musician needs to be creative as well.


sight singing

Whether you sing in a choir or enjoy singing on your own, sight-singing is a crucial tool to help you learn your part faster. I can help you develop this skill and you will be amazed at how fast you can learn!


voice (music)

I come from a family of musicians. For many years, I sang in choirs in Belgium, and participated in many choir tours, both to Europe and the Caribbean. I was also in a choir that sang at Carnegie Hall in New York as well as in a choir directed by Duain Wolfe. After pursing singing at an amateur level, I decided to learn about it professionally and went back to university and got my Bachelor of Arts degree in Music. I am currently studying to get a Master's in Vocal Pedagogy. And last but not least, I love teaching voice!


proofreading

For the past four years, I have been a proof-reader for a quarterly academic journal called "World Order Magazine". I have an eagle's eye for details, including detecting typos, errors in grammar, meaning, clarity as well as recognizing inconsistencies, either in punctuation or layout. I love proof-reading as it is something that comes easily to me.
