Singing and Breath Support training; A Natural and Personalised Method

From 69 € /h

The Breath, it's the basis of everything we do, the source of life and the start of singing.

I believe in a genre neutral method of breathing as a base of speaking and singing. No jazz, pop, musical or classical 'technique' but a natural method which taps into the natural strength of the body, which results in a huge window of opportunities.

One can sing however, whichever and whenever one wants, unbound by genre defining methods and techniques. I strive for a utilisation of the whole of the body, just to produce sounds, which makes you more versatile with different genres and which results in a more durable voice.

About Me

Singer/Vocal Coach who focuses on unlocking the Natural, Authentic voice.

It's my sincere belief that everyone knows how to sing. Even how to sing well. It's just a matter of regaining contact with the natural breath, working away deep-rooted tensions and having an open mind.

As a vocal coach, I try and guide you through this path of self discovery and offer you the tools to rediscover your own authentic voice.

I'm trained in Jazz, Pop, Classical and Musical, but after many bad experiences involving bad teachers and a lot of tension, I've gone the road less traveled. I took on courses in alternative philosophies on singing, the breath and using your body. These courses include Overtone singing and the Healing Voice, Breatheology by Stig Severinsen, the Wim Hoff method...

This deeper understanding of the breath and body have I taken on to enrichen my classes and be a vocal coach.

SONGS generally consist of chord and text lines. But where does that information come from and how do you make something out of nothing? How do you make that one great hIT or how strongly does your new song affect your love? Well, that's called "inspiration processing" and how does that work? Well, I'll tell you that in my course.
If you already play the guitar or piano, you are one step ahead. Your instrument is like a trampoline that offers you more options to go further and higher.
Most 'songs' are born at the craziest moments. A good songwriter his / her antennas are always open :-) and for some it is a continuous activity.
During my course I teach you through all sorts of tips and tricks (including: Travel Chord Duo Method - One Four Five and minor input - Key Word Designation and Relative Chord Progressions etc.) how you can achieve strong songs.
For me it is a daily activity and I have been writing all my life for others and sometimes for myself. All in all I have sold more than a million copies worldwide as an author / composer / performer. Is that little or is that a lot? I do not know. It doesn't interest me that much anymore.
I want to share my knowledge about how to write a song with motivated people who want to go further than just replaying others' songs. Whether they get stuck somewhere during composing and who are not afraid to seek advice.
Music is a life flirt. There are only two types of music: good and bad ...
Do you have a foundation of chords, do you want to know how to make a good song .....? Just book an hour to get started. That is the scan hour. Are we lying together and is there a click? If you book and I confirm, then you also know who I am and where I hide :-) Not satisfied after the first 'lesson'?

Hi there!
My name is Kristina and I come from a Czech/British background. I currently study my master at The Royal Conservatory of Antwerp, as well as having completed my Bachelor of singing in The Hague.

In the class vocal lessons, I want to give you a basis of a classical vocal technique and explore the world of singing. We would be working on our body - how it works, breath, exercises, on our musicality (intonation, phrasing, expression), on the text, but also on a lot on repertoire, which suits your voice(:

This class intended for any ages from about 8 to 70+

Pre-mutation children - we will work more on folk songs and developing your musicality
15 + we will focus more on the body, repertoire, and on all the musical aspects of singing

See you soon !

Hallo allemaal!

Muziekles voor alle leeftijden en niveaus. Tijdens de les maken wij verschillende ritmische oefeningen, zingen we, leren noten in verschillende creatieve manieren en spelen we piano.

Professioneel pianiste met Master diploma conservatorium en lerarenopleiding met ruim 20 jaar ervaring enerzijds als uitvoerend musicus, anderzijds als docent piano aan verschillende muziekacademies.

Voor wie?

Jonge kinderen: Je bent nieuwsgierig naar al die witte en zwarte toetsen, maar te jong voor de muziekacademie?

Tieners en jongeren: Je wil graag muziek spelen als hobby, gewoon voor jezelf en voor de fun, maar je hebt geen zin in extra theorielessen of examens? Wat dacht je van pianoles op maat? Op jouw tempo, zonder verdere verplichtingen!

Volwassenen: Je wil graag piano leren spelen zonder 2 of 3 avonden per week in de muziekacademie te spenderen? Je hebt ooit al gespeeld en je wilt de draad terug oppikken? Volg les op je eigen niveau, wanneer het jou past.

Ik heb jarenlange ervaring als pianiste en pianolerares en maak daarbij gebruik van mijn eigen ontwikkelde en bewezen leermethode. Ik kan je verzekeren dat als je bij mij pianoles volgt je binnen een korte termijn zal vooruitgang boeken.

As a musical actress I know that singing is something you can learn! Whether you are a beginner who is completely new to the wonderful world of singing or someone who already has a lot of experience, but still wants to learn a certain technique. I am here to guide you as best as I can to your goal.

We start our singing hour together with a warm-up of the voice and see what you would like to achieve during that hour: learning to sing a specific song, learning a specific technique, audition training, interpretation, etc.
You determine your own lesson time and I will guide you every step of the way. Together we will look for the right method that suits you.

Welcome to your ney class! The ney, a traditional Turkish reed flute, is one of the oldest musical instruments in history. With its soft, soulful sounds, the ney holds an important place in Turkish and Islamic culture, especially in Sufi music. This enchanting instrument is not only a medium for music, but also a bridge to spiritual expression.

The ney is closely associated with the teachings of Rumi (Mevlana), the great Persian poet and Sufi mystic of the 13th century. Rumi often used the ney as a metaphor for the human soul. He compared the hollow body of the ney to a human being longing for reunion with his divine origins, producing melodies of longing and love.

In this course you will not only learn the technical skills to play the ney, but you will also discover its profound spiritual and cultural significance. Let the journey begin!

Ney derslerinize hoş geldiniz! Ney, geleneksel bir Türk kamış flutü olup tarihin und eski müzik enstrümanlarından biridir. Yumuşak ve duygulu sesi, özellikle tasavvuf müziğinde, Türk ve İslam kültüründe derin bir yere sahiptir. Bu yüleyici enstrüman, sadece bir müzik aracı değil, aynı zamanda ruhsal bir ifade yoludur.

Ney, 13. yüzyılın büyük Pers şairi ve tasavvuf düşünürü Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi'nin (Mevlana) öğretileriyle yakından ilişkilidir. Mevlana, neyi insan ruhuna bir metafor olarak kullanmıştır. Onun boş gövdesini, ilahi kaynağıyla kavuşmayı özleyen bir insan olarak görmüş ve bu özlemin melodilerini neyin sesiyle anlatmıştır.

Bu derste, neyi çalmayı öğrenirken aynı zamanda onunder derin manevi ve kültürel anlamını da keşfedeceksiniz. Haydi, yolculuk başlasın!

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.

Your voice holds a story only you can tell - I’m here to help you uncover it with attention, curiosity, and care!

I recently completed my Master’s degree in Vocal Arts at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp, and just recently I have discovered how much joy I find in sharing my knowledge through teaching. I have performed on stages ranging from opera halls to Tomorrowland and worked with singers of different age groups. These experiences have given me deep insight into bringing music to life - from the subtleties of breath and posture to the delicate shaping of words with expression and meaning.

In my sessions, I aim to create a supportive and uplifting space where you can connect with your voice, grow in confidence, and discover your own unique sound!
