Wan is an exceptional teacher. With the foundation set, as he has a background with music, he is able to comprehend and understand my needs; tailoring the lesson accordingly. He has a broad vocal range, so my bass tone was at ease when he proved himself to be a close match. He’s a real confidence builder, who isn’t afraid to test a candidates vocal range. I look forward to seeing him again soon!
