Hedvika Miller - Piano, Music Theory, Singing
Hedvika Miller – Piano, Music Theory, Singing
I come from a musical family. My mother was a classical music piano teacher and my father was a professional piano player. My mother was strict on teaching piano based on music theory and using the proper hand technique. My father played by ear and preferred jazz, singing and improvisation. I started playing piano at a very early age. I don’t remember exactly when, because it has always been a part of my life.
When I was eight years old I was accepted to the School of the Arts in the Czech Republic and entered the third level, as a result of piano lessons with my mother. I continued my education and in 1990, I graduated from the University of Hradec Kralove College of Education with a Masters Degree in Musical Education. I started teaching piano at the age of seventeen and continued teaching music for another fifteen years until 1998, when I moved to the USA. In 1999, I started teaching private piano lessons in Huntersville, North Carolina. In 2000, I started the music program at the Metrolina Regional Scholars Academy School of excellence for highly gifted students located in Charlotte.
Over the past ten years I developed a curriculum which included music history, theory, chorus, singing, dance, recorders and guitar.
