If you are looking for a singing pianist who "plays with great technical skill, expression, interpretation, and sensitivity" and who is "reliable and knowledgeable," then you have found her in Catherine Miller. Described by vocal instructor Alice Blackhall as having a "loving and kind disposition," Catherine brings 25 years of experience and classical training to you. She is equally at home singing Broadway ballads at an intimate restaurant, improvising on piano with a worship ensemble, or leading a congregation in classic hymns. You will find her punctual and prepared; one colleague said that she "contributes nothing short of 100% to her job. Book Catherine for your next event!

I'm a classically trained pianist who specializes in church and worship music. I am a singer-songwriter, leading worship and singing my own songs in worship settings. I have experience as a children's musician, but I prefer to work with families rather than children's parties alone, guiding parents and caregivers in making music together alongside their children. I would love to lead a prayer gathering for families, lead VBS groups in a creative way, or lead a healing service at women's retreat.
Bachelor of Music Education at Florida State University (Tallahassee, FL)
Master of Worship Studies from Robert Webber Institute for Worship Studies (Jacksonville, FL)
I'm a full-time homeschool mom by day, gigging musician at night and on the weekends. Most of my career has been centered around church music, but for a few years I worked in restaurants and nursing homes playing top-40 music from the '20s-70s, like "Embraceable You" and "Someone to Watch Over Me". For Christmas gigs, I prefer to lead carolers in singing along with me.
I play with music. Sufficient lighting to see the music is necessary.

I have a background in church music and I am well versed in Baptist hymnody and Christmas music. I also compose my own music with my husband, Henry.
I have always been a big fan of Amy Grant, Norah Jones, Keith and Kristyn Getty (in my songwriting), and Sandra McCracken.
