Testimonials
“Ben is a fantastic teacher, advocate, and role model. Embedded in his top-notch vocal training, are lessons on music theory, music history, vocal health, and the audition process. My daughter is a high school junior and appreciates Ben's kindness, knowledge, talent, and honesty. He is amazing to work with and we feel lucky to be a part of his studio!”
Kelly, Studio Parent
“The Miller Studio is the perfect landing spot for the singer that is most serious about his or her study in voice. Ben makes sure that vocal health is a top priority and tailors the lesson to meet the needs of the student at the current stage of his or her development. The curriculum is very strong and the implementation of music theory demonstrates Ben's dedication to music literacy in addition the applied study of voice. The most valuable aspect of the studio is that Ben's teaching allows the student to discover the joy of singing by working toward attainable goals set in each lesson.”
