RACHAEL MILLER

PROFESSIONAL VIOLINIST IN CHICAGO, IL

My name is Rachael Miller and the violin has been my passion and joy for more than 20 years. Having been trained in the Suzuki method, my ability to play by ear and read with precision began when I was 4 years old. As my skills improved, I focused on classical works yet quickly learned other genres of music. My innate ability to play by ear has provided me with the skills to perform in a variety of settings. My performance experience includes venues from musicals and chamber ensembles to special events and solo performances. My goal is to provide each of my clients with excellent customer experience and a memorable performance.

REVIEWS

"In my 25 years as a professor at ISU, Rachael's gift as a technician on the violin ranks as the best undergraduate student I have ever had in my studio."

Dr. Sarah Gentry, Violin Professor at ISU

"She is a first rate musician and a wonderful communicator with both words and music."

Michael H. Dicker, Former Bassoon at Juilliard's School of Music

“Rachael’s natural gifts include fast fingers, rote memory, and perfect pitch. Combine these gifts with her dedication to achieve perfection and you have the key ingredients to become a truly special musician. This epitomizes Rachael."

Laura Dokmo Polick, Chicagoland Private Teacher

I’m on cloud 9!!!!! ☁️ Sharing the stage with @michaelbuble was such a surreal experience. I’ll always remember this day. I love violin more than anything and I’m so happy to be doing what I love. I can’t wait for what’s to come.

I’ve been off the grid for a minute… but I wanted to take a moment to thank the universe for giving me the opportunity to be apart of something that has truly changed my life: TRALA. Trala is an app that teaches anyone how to play violin. We do this using movie-quality video tutorials, signal processing that listens to your violin and provides instant feedback, and private/group lessons that are available to our students in all 193 countries! Trala has allowed me to teach students from all over the world, become friends with violinists I’ve looked up to for years, lead an incredible group of teachers, all while getting to work with some of the smartest individuals I’ve ever met! We are a small team but not for long…. Joshua Bell, GRAMMY Award-winning violinist will be joining us to help shape the future of music education!! This is JUST THE BEGINNING ❤️‍🔥 Swipe to see some of our incredible students & teachers

Today’s release is a special one!! It’s not everyday you get to collab with your family. I am honored to be featured in Mark’s latest song. Everything about his music is original- he writes, produces, and creates his own lyrics. We had a blast in the studio and on the streets of Chicago. Thank you for featuring me Mark!!

One year ago, I got to film for the first time with @chollette He is a blessing beyond words. Since moving to Chicago, I would consider him to be one of the coolest people I have ever met. His drive and dedication to capture perfect moments for me and many others is something I will never be able to thank him for. Every time I work with Orel, he carries himself so professionally and possessess an incredibly calm demeanor. I can only hope to work with him for many more years in the future.
