Miller Music School

08/18/2026

Limited piano openings are available in Harrison/Ooltewah on Tuesdays (daytime) and Thursdays (afternoon).

At Miller Music, piano is more than learning songs—students build skills that support disciplined, analytical learning, including:

• 🎼 Music theory & notation
• 🧠 Ear training & pattern recognition
• ✍️Composition & songwriting
• 🎹 Royal Conservatory exam preparation
• 🎓 A strong foundation for advanced musical study

Students learn to read complex symbols, recognize patterns, listen critically, and work through challenging material—skills that also support success in math, science, and other academic subjects.

Lessons are taught by Christine Miller, NCTM, a music degree holder and founding teacher for the Royal Conservatory Music Development Program.

Limited fall openings available.

Refer a Friend and Get a Free Lesson!
A wonderful way to support small businesses is to help share. If you refer a friend who signs up for lessons, you’ll receive a free lesson as a thank you.

Here’s how it works:

• Refer a friend or family member who is interested in learning piano.
• If they sign up for lessons, you get a free lesson added to your schedule.
• There’s no limit to the number of referrals, so feel free to spread the word!

This is a great opportunity for anyone looking to explore their musical talents or improve their skills. My lessons are tailored to each student’s goals and include a mix of classical and contemporary music.

Thank you for your support and for helping to share the joy of music!

If I could close my eyes and make a wish for my piano students it would probably be “regular practice every week”, and I am sure that if I shared that wish with other piano teachers they would probably agree. As piano teachers, we work very hard and sometimes we spend a lot of time thinking abou...

Let's talk about technology! We are all about using music learning apps to supplement our regular repertoire, scales, and theory books. Our best tip is to save music apps until AFTER the practice session to extend time at the piano and continue learning in a fun way.
