Why trust us with your musical education needs?

We have been serving the Cookeville area since 2009,
and here’s what our students have to say…

I love, LOVE Kat and I am so happy I started lessons with her. I have always wanted to play an instrument and this year I decided to take a plunge with Kat and I am so glad I did. Even though I am an adult student at 29, I leave Kat’s lessons feeling confident, empowered and excited about my progress on piano!

It is the most relaxing part of my week and Kat is the most encouraging and kind teacher you or your child could have! I cannot wait for my nieces to get old enough to start lessons themselves!

I promise you won’t regret investing in yourself or your child and starting lessons with Kat!
— Allison Boshears

Kat Starr is an excellent teacher. I have learned so much from her tutelage in music theory as well as helping me become a better Ukulele player. If you want a strong, caring teacher you will fine none better.
— John Davis, Crossville TN
Kat Starr Music and my son’s music teacher have instilled a love of music in him that he wouldn’t get anywhere else. They truly care about their students and helping them be successful while having fun! If you are looking for high quality individual music instruction for any age or skill level, then look no further!
