Mr. Corey Miller was born and raised in Northern California and has lived in the state his whole life. He grew up playing the trombone before learning percussion and piano in high school. It was in his junior year of high school that he discovered his love for singing and began training in classical voice. After high school, he moved to Fresno, California to pursue a degree in Physical Therapy at California State University, Fresno. After a year and a half of singing with the Fresno State Choirs, he switched his major to Vocal Performance and later earned his Bachelor of Arts in Music with an emphasis in Vocal Performance. Mr. Miller went on to continue his studies of classical voice at San Jose State University as he earned his Masters of Arts in Music. While at San Jose State he discovered his passion for performing not only in Opera Theatre, but in Musical Theatre. He began performing in and teaching musical theatre productions both semi-professionally and with community theatre companies. This love of teaching musical theatre brought him back to San Jose State to earn his teaching credential so that he could instill his love of music into others. When not teaching, he can be found performing with local choirs and musical theatre companies.
