Hey!
Do you want to learn to sing or simply discover what your voice is capable of? As a classically trained singer, I give private singing lessons to beginning singers and to anyone who wants to continue growing.
We work on breathing, posture, resonance, articulation, and expression, always at your pace and tailored to your voice.

Language pronunciation (Italian, German, French, Dutch...) and various styles are also covered. Complete beginner or already have some experience? Both are welcome!

In my lessons, I am positive, patient, and flexible. Making mistakes is allowed here, and experimenting even more so. Above all, singing should remain enjoyable.
Extra information
What are you bringing?

- Sheet music if you have it (printed or on tablet).
Don't have an idea yet what you'd like to sing? No problem, we'll pick something beautiful together.
- Also bring a pencil or ballpoint pen.

Do you want to truly learn to understand the language of music?
Then you've come to the right place.
Music is more than just beautiful sounds: it is a language with its own rules and structures. Whether you sing, play an instrument, or simply want to understand more about the music you hear: solfège gives you the tools to understand music better.

What will you learn with me?
I can help you with:
• Rhythm and intonation: Learn how to sing or play correctly in time.
• Ear training: Recognizing pitches, intervals, and chords.
• Music theory in practice: Reading notes, scales, chords, basics of harmony and analysis.
• Exam preparation: Whether for music school entrance exams (secondary vocational education, conservatory...) or personal goals.

For whom?
• Beginning or advanced musicians who want to deepen their knowledge.
• Students preparing for entrance exams.
• Independent artists who want to strengthen their musical skills.
• Everyone who is curious about the logic behind music.

How does it work?
• 1-on-1 lessons, online or live.
• At your pace: clear explanations tailored to your level and goals.
• No prior knowledge required: we start where you are.

Curious how I can help you?
Send me a message with your questions or goals, and we'll see together what suits you best.

Foundation
First we start with the music theory, melody and chords. These are the essential building blocks for making music.

Style
Next we apply stylistic tools to bring the music to life. This could include jazz chords, blues riffs, walking bass lines, and more.

Skills

We learn the skills (soloing, ear training, accompaniment, improvisation, lead sheets, analysis...)


Following this approach, you will finally understand the music that you are playing, and you will be able to apply the techniques to hundreds of other songs.


CVT COACHING

Hi! I am Tine, a singer, voice teacher and vocal coach. I am passionate about helping singers to make the most of their singing practice so they can thrive, grow, and become the powerful performers and communicators the world needs today.

I can help you train your voice and keep it healthy, develop your own unique sound, sing across different styles, manage performance anxiety, be authentic on stage, deliver powerful presentations, make more efficient goals and help you reach them.

It is possible to create all the sounds from all the styles / genres in a healthy way!

CVT METHOD?

Singing is not that difficult and everybody can learn to sing. CVT divideds the singing techniques into four main subjects. By combining elements of these four subjects, you can produce precisely the sounds you want. You will also be able to pinpoint your specific problems and mistakes, and you can focus on which techniques you wish to work on.

The four main subjects are:

The three overall principles – to ensure healthy sound production
The four vocal modes – to choose the ‘gear’ you want to sing in.
Sound colours – to make the sound lighter or darker.
Effects – to achieve specific sound effects.

No, we don't think that being able to sing is absolutely necessary for actors. Not every actor or actress has the ambition to appear in a musical and not every series or film features singing. Still, vocal coaching is a good idea... whether you want to learn to sing or not!

With your course fee you can participate in any of our courses whenever you want. This way you can not only learn to act, but also taste our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, 'physical acting', lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, the following applies: the more you follow 1 particular course, the faster you progress.

More info

Anyone who has ambitions as a singer or who wants to expand his or her skills to make it easier to land a role will soon end up taking singing lessons... but also those who have no intention of ever performing songs. can benefit greatly from vocal coaching.

You often have to be on set for a long time and then it is important to use your voice properly, so that it does not get tired and you can speak as powerfully after hours of recording as before. Finally, it is very useful to be able to put different effects on your voice. Just think of the raspy character of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, the barking explanations of Samson, the full voice of Kabouter Plop or the grunted insults exchanged in The Chronicles of Sabrina. Judiciously used voice effects can not only add color to characters, they are sometimes essential or almost automatically arise from emotional moments. So being able to use them correctly and maintain control over them without damaging your vocal cords is essential.

What you learn

As is the case with almost all of our courses, we teach you techniques from different approaches. For our singing lessons, these are Speech Level Singing (SLS), Estill Voice Training (EVT) and Complete Vocal Technique (CVT).

Here are some things that will pass in review:

• The similarities and differences between the three major singing techniques
• Using support
• The larynx, lips, and other organs that help control voice production
• Add necessary twang
• Add air or not
• Different vocal modes (with CVT): neutral, curbing, overdrive and edge.
• Variety of voice effects including: creaking, distortion, grunting, rattling, screaming, vibrato and ornamentation
• For actors: relationship between voice color, effects and the playing of all kinds of characters
• For actors: the relationship between stem kle

Extras

• Help with the CV
• Assistance with admissions
• Help in choosing the right equipment
• Help with finding auditions
• Syllabus with pdf of the book Complete Vocal Technique

You can participate whenever you want!
