Rebekah Jordan-Miller was born and raised in Ontario, Canada and recently completed her doctoral studies in piano performance and pedagogy at the University of Oklahoma.  She has performed widely, both as a soloist and as a collaborative artist in venues throughout Canada, the United States, including Vermont Public Radio, Austria, Australia, and Norway.  In 2001, Jordan-Miller graduated with a bachelor’s degree in piano performance from the Eastman School of Music.  She completed a Masters degree in Music Criticism from McMaster University in June 2003. Her piano instructors include Gwen Beamish, Rebecca Penneys, Fernando Laires, Valerie Tryon, and Dr. Jane Magrath. 

Jordan-Miller has produced two CD projects.  She recorded the first, “Let Heaven Kiss Earth,” when she was 19, with proceeds benefiting the work of Samaritan’s Purse.  The second, “The Sounds of Four Hands,” features music for four hands at one piano and was recorded with Dr. Howard Kim.

During her doctoral studies, Jordan-Miller completed research in the area of performance psychology, developing a 12-week mental skills training program for advanced pianists.  As an active member of the Music Teachers National Association, Jordan-Miller has presented this research at the MTNA state conferences for Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri.  She was previously a staff accompanist at Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY and most recently an adjunct faculty member at Oklahoma City University where she taught group and applied piano.
