Hi, I'm Jennifer Miller, a passionate music educator and choral director with over two decades of experience in teaching and performing. I specialize in vocal technique, music theory, and choral directing across all age groups, from young children to seminarians. Music is not just a profession for me—it's a way to help people develop both their musical and personal growth. I have enjoyed leading choirs through diverse repertoires including sacred music, and I've been fortunate to contribute original compositions for liturgical and concert settings. I also maintain a private voice studio where I encourage students of all ages to find confidence through singing. Community projects like neighborhood nativity plays and talent shows have been some of my favorite ways to connect music with people of all ages.
