Tertiary Student Audition

Dr Jan McMillan accompanied the singing component of my 2021 WAAPA audition. It was wonderful to work with someone so talented and so passionate about their art. We were able to workshop my song choices and perfect them together in a very short amount of time. Not mention her piano playing is incredible.

Jan is an excellent pianist and a very human individual. As a teacher she has a great personality. Lessons can be both fun and instructive.
