I feel that Ken will be a great asset to any music program he chooses to work with. But beware, the energy and excitement this young man has for creating music and educating musicians is infectious.
-Professor Gene Ditch, St. Charles Community College
Ken is a gifted musician as well as a caring-sharing educator who has a holistic perspective on what is wanted-and-needed by today ís college age students.
-Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser
His depth of musical knowledge and experience, his ability to relate positively to his students, and the contagious enthusiasm and joy for music and learning he brings to his students make him an invaluable asset to any music department!
-Mr. & Mrs. Jerry Brown, Hart choir parents
"My observation of Ken is that he is talented, diligent, and visionary. He took what was a fledgling organization and turned it into a dynamic chorus. He planned the concert season far in advance, intelligently selected music, and respected the budget of a struggling company. He was instrumental in giving our chorus immediate direction and a vision for future seasons. It was a privilege to work with him. I highly recommend him, and believe he will be a great asset to your program.
-Michael O'Keefe, Caballeros Board President
It is enjoyable to watch Ken as he seemingly attacks a lesson. He moves about; modeling, demonstrating, giving cues, and checking for student understanding. His knowledge and expertise in the area of vocal music are noteworthy. He demonstrates a level of enthusiasm for the vocal music program that is refreshing.
-Principal Don Kuntz, Stebbins High School
One only has to converse on a small level with Mr. Harned to know and feel his overwhelming desire to work with these talented young people. His ideas seem endless and energizing!
-Mrs. Lynda Smith, Hart choir parent
"Ken seems to approach life and work with zest and a seriousness of purpose tempered by a lively sense of humor. I wholeheartedly recommend him to you as a candidate for your position."
-Dr. Charles A. Grover, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater
