Richard Miller

Richard Miller earned a Ph.D. in music theory from Catholic University of America in 2006, where he now teaches theory, ear-training, and guitar. He also holds a Master of Music degree in guitar performance from Manhattan School of music. Richard Miller was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to an American father and a Brazilian mother and moved frequently in Brazil, United States and Puerto Rico. He has become well known in the Washington, DC area for his performances of both classical guitar music and popular Brazilian and Latin-American music and has traveled extensively for concerts and recitals in United States and Latin America. A review of a recital by Richard at the State Department affirmed “Throughout his recital, he not only displayed impeccable technique but communicated his love of this beautiful music.” A review in the Washington City Paper by Joel Siegal of the duo of Richard Miller with Patrick de Santos (voice) stated “Patrick and Richard strike a remarkable balance between disciplined technique and emotional abandon.” His dissertation entitled The Guitar in the Brazilian Choro will soon be published by VDM Verlag and will be available for purchase at amazon.com.
