Miller was apprenticed to his father, a pavior (a layer of paving stones and the like), but ran away to study music. He is said to have been a flautist in Handel’s orchestra at one time.
He played the organ for 50 years at Doncaster Church, and composed hymn tunes and harpsichord sonatas. Cambridge University awarded him a doctorate degree in 1786.
