She studied violin at the Westchester Conservatory of Music with Editha Braham.

From Brandeis University, Lamon left the USA to study in Holland with Herman Krebbers, then the concertmaster of the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam.
She returned to North America in the mid-1970s to establish her career as a baroque specialist. Lamon held the position of concertmaster for and appeared in solo performances with many prestigious ensembles and orchestras in the USA and became in 1974 the first violinist to win the prestigious Erwin Bodky Award for Excellence in the Performance of Early Music.
In the late 1970s, while teaching in the Early Music Department of Smith College in Massachusetts, Jeanne made two guest appearances in Canada with the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, which resulted in an invitation in 1981 offering her the position of Music Director. Lamon has resided in Toronto since 1981 and became a Canadian citizen in 1988.
Lamon teaches at University of Toronto and the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. She received an honorary Doctor of Letters from York University in 1994. Most recently, Lamon was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada on July 13, 2000 in Ottawa.
