Eben Miller
Eben and baby Luis in Music Together Babies class, spring 2018. They have attended every session since then through summer 2022!
Eben Miller has been teaching in our Music Together Center for two years, and has a following of families who love him.
Eben has been practicing music in many forms for over 20 years. He studied Voice for three years at Contra Costa Community College, where he sang in the chamber choir, and in Jazzology, a vocal jazz group that won the prestigious DownBeat Student Music Award multiple times. He also studied at Cal State Los Angeles with professional opera singer Robert MacNeil.
More recently and most importantly, Eben has been a devoted Music Together parent. In his first four years as a father to his eldest son Luis, they attended every session and hardly missed a class! Invigorated by the program's communal experience, and his long-held affinity for children, he sought Music Together training, and his now a registered teacher, and enjoys the program as a parent still with his youngest son.
Eben loves to improvise, play-act, and be silly. He believes that live music-making provides a profound learning experience for the young, and loves to share Music Together's rich curriculum with kids and caregivers of all kinds.

What people say about Eben...
“…We LOVE Eben! The boys really dig his energy, and I can see him working consistently to balance the musical joys of class while helping us stay on top of keeping kids engaged! As a boy mom, I really appreciate having a male teacher that can lead by example, and show my kiddos that’s it’s okay to be a boy AND love to dance and play and enjoy music in an unencumbered way!”
