“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.

“Aaron fostered a love of music and brought great joy to my child during a really difficult time…”
Our family first met Aaron at Westside Village Magnet School where my kids attended for thirteen years. He was part of the teaching team working with the kids on music. My son, Seth, became interested in piano and really clicked with Aaron. Aaron is not only an extremely talented musician, but he is kind and gentle. My son was a pretty quiet kid with a really big heart who responded best to teachers like him. Aaron was the perfect teacher for Seth! When the pandemic hit, Seth missed in person learning very much, especially his music mornings with Aaron. As we learned how to navigate living with Covid, Seth started asking if he could get back to in person learning with Aaron. Seth’s sister has an extremely compromised immune system, and we were very cautious about our family bubble. Aaron was one of the first non-family members we allowed in our home.
He came weekly to not only work with Seth on music, but the two talked about all kinds of things, from dogs to favorite bands, they always had plenty to chat about. Aaron was always genuine in these conversations and his visits were a weekly highlight. Seth holds Aaron in high regard to this day as an adult who went above and beyond in his life. Aaron fostered a love of music and brought great joy to my child during a really difficult time. I highly recommend Aaron as a music teacher and am happy to further discuss our experience if requested.

“Aaron is a brilliant musician and a wonderful teacher for children…”
My name is Hannah, and both our children, Hendrix and Clara, take lessons from Aaron Miller. We’ve been with him for over three years now. Aaron is a brilliant musician and a wonderful teacher for children. He is kind and patient with new beginners. The children are learning separate instruments from him. Piano and electric bass. Aaron takes the time to search for music that they love and teach them songs that they help pick out. It’s meaningful, fun, and lessons are something they look forward to!

“There truly aren’t words to describe the caliber of excellence that Aaron brings to every situation…”
I feel like the luckiest mom and musician in the world. Not only have I taken piano lessons with Aaron myself, but he taught my daughter when she was in elementary school. I have seen him in action one on one with students as well as in large groups. His musical understanding and talent are vast and his compassion and kindness as a teacher is beyond comparison. There truly aren’t words to describe the caliber of excellence that Aaron brings to every situation.
