My name is Jeremey McMillan. I
currently reside in Chelsea, Alabama. I work at the
Alabama School for the Blind as a piano and
elementary music teacher. I teach from a variety of
private piano methods (and modifications of the
methods) that fit the needs and the learning styles
of the students. I must note, however, that I
predominantly teach from the Piano Adventures method
books if modifications are not needed.
Before accepting the position at the
Alabama School for the Blind in 2009, I was
the choral director for a middle school in
Jefferson County Schools. I also taught
private piano lessons under the University
of Montevallo Community School.
I hold a Bachelor of Music degree in piano
performance from the University of Montevallo
(2008). I hold certificates to teach vocal/choral
music grades p-12 in the State of Alabama (2008) and
a certificate to teach students with visual
impairments (2011). I hold a Master's degree in
special education from the University of Alabama at
Birmingham (UAB, 2011), and I currently plan to
pursue an education specialist (Ed.S) degree from
the University of Montevallo.
My studio is primarily at my home in Chelsea, AL.
I have a Kawai grand piano with a responsive and
slightly heavy action that will give the students a
"universal technique" where they will feel
comfortable playing on any piano at any venue. There
is also an area available where parents can sit
while their students have a lesson. The area comes
complete with a large flat screen TV and even a
digital piano where students who are waiting can
practice their music or theory.
