With a number of past recordings, and an international front–act performance for the husky-voiced Michael Bolton to her name, the 25-year-old Krystine seems to set aside her personal aspiration as a singer, and rather concentrates on guiding singing hopefuls through her own music school called the Voice Box where she teaches voice lessons full-time.

"This idea of opening my own music school came up just last year after I noticed that a lot of youngsters were asking me to teach them how to sing. I think my passion for singing, and the fact that I’m legitimate to teach professionally triggered me to put up a singing and stage performance school I call Voice Box," shared the smiling-faced beauty who actually studied in Australian Music Institute, giving her the ticket to teach people who want to learn professional singing.

The Voice Box, which also provides guitar lessons, opened last August, with Krystine herself personally attending to her students in the belief that ‘personalized teaching is truly effective.’ She is currently conducting vocal sessions for more than 50 students, occasionally getting consultations and help from her friends in the music industry like Hajji Alejandro, Toti Fuentes, and Rico J. Puno.

In fact, her students, upon graduating after 15 sessions, get the token of performing live at Rico J. Puno’s Coriks Bar (Voice Box and Coriks are both located at the ground floor of Kingswood Towers in Vito Cruz, cor. Pasong Tamo, Makati.)

"It’s so nice of Krsytine to share her talent in singing not just by performing it to other people, but by also teaching youngsters as well. Magandang halimbawa ang pinakikita niya," Rico J. said of Krystine’s passion as a hands-on voice teacher.

Krystine rightly responded: "Rico and I have something in common since we both want to help aspiring singers and guide them to their path in the industry. I’m quite overwhelmed that there are a lot of young people out there who dream to become a professional singer and performer. I’m glad they trust my capability as a voice coach and this is one reason why I’m giving my best."

Meanwhile, both Rico J. and Krystine are set to perform with four of the Voice Box graduates via a concert at Music Museum this coming March 30. The evening show is aptly entitled "My Time To Shine" and features Krystine’s so-called "Voice Box Angels" namely, Michelle Alejandro, Jas Garcia, Chanelle Kim, and Charlotte Torralba. "I’m looking forward about that show," related Krystine. "Aside from the joy of seeing my students deliver the result of my efforts, I’m quite excited that what we’ll do this March 30 is not a typical recital show for music school graduates, but a real concert, featuring the music that’s ‘in’ these days."

Though practically still young considering the field she’s into now, Krystine doesn’t waste any time and make the most out of her self-realization that she needs to share the gift she has through teaching. She still loves performing and recording numbers; and proudly showed to this writer her CD containing cover tracks she recorded with Toti Fuentes as producer and arranger. Audibly, her versions of "When You Tell Me That You Love Me" and "Sana’y Wala Nang Wakas" showed her competence as a singer; which strongly validates her credentials as a vocal teacher.

She utterly expressed she’s in high spirit knowing that her Voice Box is already attracting, this early, many people who want to develop their potentials. She recalled that during Voice Box’s opening last year, one of the earlier enrollees was an 81-year-old balikbayan who said that he just hoped to participate well in videoke singing. For her that was a proof that Pinoys really love to sing which, in turn, made her feel her triumph of having established Voice Box as her noble contribution to a field Filipinos truly love.
