Hello, my name is Carly Miller, I am a Music Education major at CSUF, and I'm 21 years old. I play the bassoon and mallet percussion (like a xylophone but more). I have been playing bassoon for 8 years and mallet percussion for 6 years. Ever since I was 12, I knew I wanted to be a middle school band director because I love children and I love teaching music. I chose music education because music education is very important in a childs life regardless if they want to continue with it or not, it helps expose them to a whole new world outside of the one they already know.

I am currently Vibe 1 at the Academy Drum and Bugle Corps, the Academy is based out of Tempe, Arizona and every summer we put together a show, and travel around the U.S. performing in stadiums far and wide from June-August. This is my second and final season with the Academy and my 4th season of participating in Drum Corps International (summer marching band for brass and percussion basically). This is me performing in our production entitled "Academic" last summer.

I currently teach mallet percussion at Arlington High School in Riverside, CA. I have six wonderful students and these kids are my world. I started teaching mallet percussion in the spring of 2017 at Riverside Poly High School at the age of 19 for their winter drum line program, and moved to Arlington HS in the fall of 2018.
