MGMILLER MUSIC STUDIO
THIS IS MY STORY
I have been a professional musician and educator all of my adult life and I never tire of finding new ways to help my students progress in their skills and understanding of the musical arts. It has been my privilege to work with children through adults throughout my 40+ year career.
I have degrees in music education, music therapy, and church music, as well as a performance certificate in organ and certifications in the music pedagogies of Orff Schulwerk, Kodaly, and Dalcroze Eurhythmics. In addition to teaching piano lessons, I taught for 26 years as a public school elementary music teacher. I have served as a church musician and children's and youth choral director since 1981, and directed a community youth chorus for 16 years. After retiring from public school service, I delved into teaching preschool music classes. Currently, I serve as Director of Music Ministry in a lovely church.
I am hoping you will find working with me to be instructive, but also a lot of fun.
"Mrs. Miller always goes above and beyond just teaching the weekly lesson....I would recommend highly that you speak to Mrs. Miller if you are considering piano lessons." --- Yovita W
"At age 75, I started working with Mrs. Miller. Her patience, encouragement and gift for teaching have been a true joy." --- Bob H
"Mrs. Miller is extremely patient and has a kind, professional manner. My daughter is excited to be playing the piano and enjoys her lessons." ----Jo M
"I studied with Mrs. Miller for seven years before eventually pursuing a career in music. Her lessons taught me not just how to play piano, but how to understand and truly enjoy making music. My time studying with her is the foundation of the pianist, director, and music teacher I am today." ---Josh W
As a professional singer, my piano skills were sadly, under-developed. I always had the desire to play, but not much opportunity to work with someone who could help me to achieve my goals. Enter Mrs. Miller.. She opened up a world of musical understanding and depth that had been overlooked. I have gained confidence and a sense of delight when I sit down to play. She sharpens the musical mind and challenges you to grow to your full potential. If you are looking for piano instruction, at any level, I give my highest recommendation to Mrs. Miller. -Jennifer Laubach
