Lorraine Manifold

I am a passionate advocate for sacred choral music as well as music education and I firmly believe that we can all develop our inner musicianship to our heart’s content. My favourite activities are conducting choirs, teaching singing and beginner piano, dabbling in writing choral music in English and French, and reading about the science of music. I am trying to write a book about the science of music in relation to the teachings of the Bahá'í Faith and some of the chapters will pertain to the effect of music on well-being and on our health. Born in Montreal, I now live in Melbourne with my husband, Alan, and together we love doing anything music-related, in addition to dreaming about moving up to Queensland to bask in warmer weather. I hold a Master’s Degree in Vocal Pedagogy, a Bachelor's Degree (Hons.) in Music and a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and I teach private singing and beginner piano lessons in my home studio in Melbourne.
