Episode 9: Karen Hedges

Karen Hedges and her husband George own Shiloh Music Center, a music store in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee.  She has taught piano there for forty-five years.  Karen was instrumental in developing the Education Center at Shiloh which houses eighteen private music teachers who share nine studios.  Karen is active in many piano teacher organizations and is an expert on method books and supplementary materials for piano teachers, having hosted many composers and arrangers at her store for publisher-sponsored events.  Her teaching method is informed by her own lifelong learning, and by her desire to instill the love of music in her students regardless of level or style.  When she isn’t teaching, Karen can be found riding with George on their Harley.
