“My daughter started piano lessons with Aaron Miller at age seven…”
Aaron’s expertise and approachable teaching style helped her not only improve her piano skills but also develop a genuine love for music. Aaron teaches music theory in a way that makes sense at any age and encourages students to compose their own music with pride. When my daughter’s curiosity expanded to other instruments, he encouraged her exploration, jumping in to teach her a new instrument while keeping piano as the primary instrument. Aaron has a unique ability to connect with his students, making each lesson engaging and most importantly FUN for a child. Music is not a chore. He was patient and encouraging, always providing feedback that inspired my daughter to practice and strive for excellence. There was no nagging to get her to practice. Ever. He even helped her to utilize her music skills as a therapy outlet while she was going thru the hardships of those middle and high school years. Aarons passion for music shines through in every lesson and to this day my daughter carries on that passion for music as an adult. Aaron has become family. He has been a wonderful adult role model for my daughter, and I credit his presence in her life for the amazing human she is today. I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact he has had on her musical journey and wholeheartedly recommend Aaron Miller to any parent seeking a dedicated and talented music teacher for their child.
