Hi, Mike. You write: <<miller's personal style is, unfortunately, unpleasent.
i find him
myopic and pompous. occasionally, he is amusing, but, not enough for me.
and i sometimes feel that he mixes the exposition of scientific information
with his campaigning of his own viewpoints.

If you have not met him, how can you find his style unpleasant? I don't think
that I could judge the style of a teacher from a text. I, having taken
Miller's class 6 times, find him to be filled with common sense about the
instrument and greatly knowledgeable about style, expression, and musicality.
His vocalises are marvelous. I have seen him make great strides in a short
time with some singers, and begin many others on a clearer path to better
singing. I just thought perhaps you'd like to hear another opinion from someone
who knows him and has worked with him.
