Welcome to my cozy singing studio in Wondelgem/Ghent.
I like to listen to who you are, what you like to sing, where your comfort zone is and what challenges you have.
With my help, each student in my class is free to choose what he/she wants to sing. Step by step I will work with you specifically tailored to your needs. A little insecure, a little stress or a cold or simply a great day, it's all welcome.
My one-hour lessons start with a good 20 minutes of warm-up and technique, after which we continue with our repertoire pieces. All styles are possible: Pop, Jazz, Folk, Rock, Soul, Blues, Musical and much more.

My name is Jana Olga, 30 years old, a master's degree as a jazz singer from the Ghent Conservatory. Having studied jazz and classical piano for 15 years, tips for learning to accompany yourself on piano are certainly possible.

Do you really want to be on stage, or not at all and just do this for yourself as a hobby? All in order and very welcome in my little music studio in Ghent.

Until then, many greetings
Jana Olga

Education
My introduction to music was when I was 11 years old when I studied at the music school in Gentbrugge as a classical pianist. I did this for 10 years until I realized I wanted more ;) From high school I decided to study music in the MUDA. There I first continued my studies as a classical pianist, after which I was introduced to singing as a musical singer for 2 years and finally graduated as a jazz pianist. I always wanted to become a jazz singer, so I started training at the conservatory of Maastricht. Because Ghent is my safe home after all, I returned here to obtain my master's degree at the conservatory of Ghent as a Jazz singer. Present: teacher of solfège, music history and singing at the DKO plus completing my teacher training in Leuven.

PIANO

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.
verified badge
specialization: voice technique, empathy, own creation (songwriting), improvisation, polyphonic singing, experimental use of voice.

Genres: world music, soul, jazz, pop

Teaching style: Physical awareness, mental coaching, search for your own voice / creation process at your own pace

->Did you ever want to know how Paul Potts or Susan Boyle can sing like that?
->Do you sing in a choir and want to improve your vocal skills?
->Do you need a certain way to give your personality a voice, but don't know how?
->Do you need help to prepare yourself for music exams or want to study singing and need someone to prepare your piece with?

I offer singing lessons in GERMAN and ENGLISH and NEDERLANDS


The three pillars of my teaching philosophy:
1. Body awareness
2. Enjoy yourself and your voice
3. using the voice in the most healthy way!


I am a classically trained Voiceteacher from Germany and have sung as a concert soloist and in choirs for years and know what it means to come out of a rehearsal hoarse. We can prevent that.

I believe that everyone can sing and that everyone has musicality within them.

I'm excited to get to know you and your voice :)

Did you always want to have a great voice? Or do you know you have one, and want to get better at using it? Or do you just want to be able to sing songs at home and enjoy yourself? What ever you are looking for, as long as you want to find enjoyment in singing, I'm the teacher for you.

Genres: Pop, rock, jazz & blues, soul, singer/songwriter

I've been teaching music for a decade now, and I'm still as in love with it as when I started. I love to see my students grow. Together we look for what inspires you, what supports you technically, and find your path in learning how to sing. We'll work on breathing, tone, style, and the mental game that comes with being a confident singer and regular practice. I focus on giving you a positive learning experience; I'm going to empower you by teaching you step by step, so you know what your process is and you can reproduce it yourself at home or at a gig. If you're interested, we can also work on songwriting and/or accompanying yourself on an instrument.

You decide the tempo at which we work, you decide what and what style you want to work on, you decide whether you take classes of 30 or 60 minutes and how regularly you take them. You'll get exercises, sheet music and backing tracks to practice at home. You're allowed to record the class so you can remember everything and hear your progress. If you want to, we can even make a professional recording of you singing. Everything is possible, and everything we do will be in dialogue with each other. Wether you come every week, or every month, it's all up to you, as long as you put in the practice at home you'll make big leaps forward.

!! It is possible to work with me on extended vocal techniques like growl & distortion !!

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!

I offer private singing lessons in Ghent with piano or guitar accompaniment. Knowledge of music theory isn't necessary; a desire to sing and work is all it takes! We'll focus on warming up, technique, and intention, but the joy of singing is always paramount. I can also teach you how to accompany yourself on guitar or piano while singing. Besides singing, we can also focus on songwriting, and I can guide you through the writing process and offer creative writing exercises.

For me, singing and writing music are the most rewarding things there is, and I'd love to help you discover your own voice. I have 13 years of experience as a professional singer (Sophia plays Leonard Cohen, Ansatz der Maschine, Little Dots) and 8 years of experience as a voice teacher. I also have extensive experience in music education with young children and organized music camps for children aged 4-9 for a while.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or would like to work together!

My drum lessons can go in all directions. From jazz to pop and rock and hip hop. Always starting from a good technical basis and live guidance. For all levels and age groups. Usually I build up the lessons from technical exercises. These serve as a warm-up and basic vocabulary for the student. The technical exercises start with simple single strokes but quickly build up to rolls, accents, double strokes and flams. The second part of a lesson covers the knowledge of different grooves. Both two-part and three-part grooves are part of the lesson package, but also quintuplets of grooves. In the last part of the lesson, the student has the freedom to bring his own music and analyze it during the lesson.

I would be happy to help you with whatever you want to learn on the drums.
Do you want to work on timing and technique? Want to learn to groove and have fun? Maybe improvise a little? To be on a stage or not at all?
Everything is possible and everyone is welcome.

Having fun is what is central here.

Are you a beginner singer, or do you want to further develop your voice and discover its full potential? Do you want to improve your vocal technique or work on your song interpretation for a specific song? Are you preparing for an audition or concert and looking for someone to help you because that one note just isn't coming out easily enough? Then I'd love to help!
I think it's important that we explore what you can do at your own level, in a familiar environment.
I will help you with techniques I learned during my Musical Theatre training, but also with my own experiences as a singer.
