Many music schools around the Philadelphia area offer a variety of instrumental lessons along with vocal classes, but K.E. Querns Langley Bel Canto Vocal Studio strictly concentrates on developing the voice. Voted number one for singing lessons by Thumbtack.com, the studio offers weekly and daily classes to potential Pavarottis. Students are taught the bel canto school of classical singing, an 18th-century Italian operatic style focusing on the perfection of legato, agility, flexible delivery and tones in the higher registers. You may choose to be coached under the tutelage of apprentice instructors or, for an additional fee, by opera virtuoso K.E. Querns Langley himself.
