Julie Welsh Miller taught piano at the university level for thirty years, and her former students teach at every level from elementary to university. One of her principal interests was collaborating with other musicians; she performed in 60-100 recitals yearly. She developed an extensive repertoire playing for students, colleagues, and guest artists.
Miller's other principal interests were editing, publishing, and performing the music of Keith Gates (1948-2007). For more information and recordings, see keithgates.com.
Miller held degrees in piano performance from the University of Oklahoma and the University of Illinois. She graduated from OU with highest honors, and was the Outstanding Senior in the College of Fine Arts. She did post-graduate work at Michigan State University and the University of Southern California. She taught at Henderson State University, Ouachita Baptist University, McNeese State University, and SUNY Potsdam.
Miller is survived by her husband Lane, son Ben, and daughter Sarah.
