Ken Querns’ intimate understanding of the biology and mechanics of the voice, matched with his deep knowledge of Bel Canto Technique have given me abilities beyond my wildest dreams.
I am a professional Actor, Singer, Dancer in the Philadelphia Area and I have been working with Ken Querns now for just about three years. I came to Ken in my sophomore year of college as an aspiring singer who had nothing to show for years of training. I had been studying voice for 5 years before I came to Ken and my voice was in shambles. I only had about an octave of usable range and no idea what I was doing. I had teacher after teacher desperately trying to pound notes out of me, including well regarded college professors, but none of them understood my voice and so I never made any progress. Ken Querns’ intimate understanding of the biology and mechanics of the voice, matched with his deep knowledge of Bel Canto Technique have given me abilities beyond my wildest dreams. I chose to stick with Ken when he moved from Philadelphia to London through Skype, because I made more progress in one year studying under Ken, than I did in all five years of my previous training. I was skeptical of Skype lessons; I did not think that they were going to be useful but I knew that I wanted
to study with Ken so I gave it a shot. But after a month or so I was totally on board. I still get to study with Ken, and because of the lag, and the fact that he cannot play along with me while we sing; I have become a better musician training my ear and improving my overall intonation. I have found no depreciation of my progress while using Skype with Ken, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to sing and become an artist. What separates Ken apart from any teacher that I have studied with or seen is that he tailors his lessons to each student separately. His incredible knowledge about the voice and different voice types allows him to teach a wide range of students with success. I have worked with many musical theater vocal coaches who constantly ask me how I sing the way I do. They are shocked at the incredible range and ease that I have in my voice and it is unparalleled to anything that I could learn from anyone locally. I plan to study with Ken as long as possible, and I would urge any of his students to do the same. His dedication to his students is incredible, and to find a voice teacher with the knowledge and dedication of Ken is a rare find. I literally wouldn’t be in the advanced vocal place that I am today without Ken’s meticulous coaching."
