Welcome

As a recorder teacher and player based in the Atlanta area, Jody Miller supports both historical music and traditionally historical instruments in contemporary roles.  With over 20 years of diverse teaching experience, Jody is an effective teacher in workshop, small group, and private settings.


Jody's primary work in the recorder and early music community is workshop administration and teaching, but he enjoys performing historical and contemporary literature.


Jody recently began an interview series for the Atlanta Early Music Alliance.  Check out interviews below.

Take your playing to the next level with Jody's online classes!

Emerging and intermediate recorder players may want to check out Jody's online opportunities.  Sessions are one hour long and are designed to help players "level-up" with the support of others with similar experience.  You can ask questions without worry of embarrassment and you are encouraged to play to receive feedback (but you won't ever be required to play for the others).

Classes are 4 or 6 weeks long and some are available a la carte or for a discounted package rate.  Information about fall classes will be available soon.

All sessions are held via Zoom videoconferencing platform.  Zoom information and class materials will be sent a few days before the first session.

Upcoming classes:

Music Theory for Beginning and Intermediate Recorder Players
Ensembles for Intermediate Players
Ensembles for Emerging Players
Emerging Alto Recorder, Level 4


Performances are back!
