About Me
I am from Sinaai, and English has always been my passion. As a teacher of English, Musical Education and Religion I have the necessary experience to teach.
Since several friends of mine are English speakers, I actively use the language and have no problem helping you with pronunciation, sentence structure, intonation, vocabulary, and grammar. Another great passion of mine is making music: singing and guitar. Since I was 18 I have played and sang in different bands.
Education
Bachelor's program in English - Religion at KaHo Sint-Lieven, graduated in 2013
Bachelor-after-bachelor's program Arteveldehogeschool (Music Education) at Ghent, graduated in 2015.
Training Riding School at Syntra-Waas, 2018-2020
Yearly course Problem behavior & trauma in horses (2020-2021)
Experience / Qualifications
Erasmus in Belfast was one of my personal top experiences. Over the years I also give language camps and pony camps in the summer. In short, I have been immersed in the English/French/Dutch language since I was 18 years old (and that's already starting to count).
Dressage has been known to me since 2000. Also jumping was my interest, but my biggest passion is training both easy and difficult horses, as well as the rider.

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.

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!

In the singing lesson we start with learning basic theory about mindset, breathing, breath support,... For students with some experience in singing we go more into different types of singing, for example head voice, mixed voice, emotions while singing, microphone techniques,...

Do you want specific tips for e.g. performances, music choices,...? This is certainly possible! I will look with you at what your needs are and what you would like to learn.

We're not just going to look at the voice but also at 'How do I stand on stage?' or 'How do I reduce stress?' So I'm also going to look at the mental and emotional aspects.

I will help you further based on all my musical baggage that I am currently expanding myself! I am super excited to get started with you and further develop our singing voice together.
