"Jennie is a vocal teacher who enthusiastically helps me with proper breathing. This has greatly improved my sound. She has also givien me great techniques to expand my vocal range and improve my tone quality. She does all this with a great passion for music." --Kush, vocal student

"Jennie Kwan is an exceptional teacher.  She is a rare blend of both critical and kind.  She never accepts less than my best, but she makes it safe for me to get there, and I find that when I'm with her I am always capable of much more than I imagined. Since studying with Jennie, my range has increased, my voice is stronger and clearer, and I have much more control.  People who saw me perform a year ago come back to a gig now and comment on the dramatic improvement in my voice.  I always take full credit!(Hee, Hee) --Deena Rubinson.
