For as long as she can remember, Elaine Lemieux has always been fascinated by the sonic colors of the human voice, its possibilities for creative expression and the diversity of emotions that can be revealed.  Elaine has more than 30 years of experience in voice study, training, and singing performance. She had the opportunity to solo with different chamber music ensembles, choirs, theatrical groups and dance companies.  She performed classical, baroque, sacred and contemporary repertory in Canada, the United States, as well as in Europe. Elaine has always been inspired by the theatrical improvisation styles created by many performance artists that she had the privilege of working with over the years. In addition, she has completed five years of training in the Musicianship and Leadership Program (MLP) from the Music for People organization. As a result, she has truly enhanced her creative musical language and has found her doorway in helping people find their authentic expressive selves.  Elaine focuses on voice and channeling self-expression and movement.  She brings a new sensitivity to music improvisation founded in an education in formal classical voice.
