Alauddin Miah began learning the violin at an early age. To quote him, "Till 1965, I learnt the violin from Ustad Sadeq Ali. I acquired sound knowledge on the basics of the instrument and on classical music. As there is a shortage of ustads on the instrument in Bangladesh, listening to the albums of the world-renowned ustads, I practiced violin to develop my calibre. Usually I play ragas such as teelang, malkosh, dura, bhupali and emon."

In 1966 Alauddin Miah went in for an audition at the radio. Listening to his presentation the officials offered him the post of a staff artist. Since then he has been working with radio. Currently he is the Chief Music Producer of Bangladesh Betar. Alauddin Miah said, " Songs composed by me are frequently aired on radio. Eminent singers such as Runa Laila, Andrew Kishore, Sabina Yasmin and Syed Abdul Hadi have rendered these songs. I've composed songs in films such as Bonobashe Bender Meye Josna, Shaheen and Dui Chor. The tune of the violin plays a dominating role in my compositions, "

These days Alauddin Miah does not like to continue composing film music. To quote him, "These days producers do not like to spend much for film music. As a result, to minimize the cost, composers have to compromise. They create music effects with a key board and percussion, which I'm not willing to do."

But, the seasoned violinist is optimistic about the future of the coming generation. He said, "Compared to our time the younger generation are more dedicated. I teach violin at University of Alternative Development (UDA) and Bulbul Academy of Fine Arts (BAFA). In both of the institutions I've noticed that the younger people who come to learn are talented. These educated talents are more capable of learning than us. So, I see bright future in this sector."

As the member of government delegations, Alauddin Miah has visited China, Hong Kong, North Korea, Thailand and India.
