Meet theInstructor

As a classical music teacher, paramedic, and firefighter with Birmingham Fire and Rescue Services (BFRS), Ahmun Miles has found a calling in two fields—both allowing her to help others.  

Miles, a classical pianist, founded the Piamistry School of Music at Watermark Place in Bessemer, Alabama. The school introduces students to music through instruction for playing instruments like the piano and guitar, voice training, and music production.  

Miles's musical foundation was established when she first touched a piano at 3. Her parents always believed in having an instrument in the home. Her oldest brother started playing piano before her, and she was inspired to play alongside him.  

From there, it wasn't hard for Miles to pick up on the rhythmic, feel-good melodies her brother would lay out. Eventually, she and her brother started playing side by side at their home church, Birmingham's Community Primitive Baptist Church, which strengthened her love for classical music.

 

Miles started piano lessons at age 13 to learn how to read music and study performance art. Shortly after mastering her lessons, she performed as a solo artist at various events and volunteered to play at Children's of Alabama, UAB, elementary schools, summer camps, and nursing homes. Her elementary school and nursing home performances sparked her interest in music therapy and opening the Piamistry School of Music.  

 

At 30 years old, Miles has already built an impressive resume. She studied with Young Musical Geniuses of Birmingham, became a member of the Birmingham Music Teachers Association and National Federated Music Club (the latter receiving the Gold Cup three times and the Silver Cup twice), studied Music Theory and Performance at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), and was named an Educational Partner by prominent piano manufacturer Steinway and Sons in 2018.  

Ahmun and Piamistry have partnered with UAB and now teach group lessons at UAB ArtPlay Community Art Center.
