About Knoxville Academy of Music

Knoxville Academy of Music provides professional music lessons in Knoxville for students of all ages and skill levels. Our mission is simple: deliver structured, high quality private instruction in a supportive and professional environment where students can grow with confidence.

We focus on long term development, consistent progress, and meaningful performance opportunities. Whether a student is just beginning or advancing toward higher musical goals, our faculty is committed to excellence at every level.

Our Approach

We believe music education should be structured, consistent, and inspiring. Students benefit from weekly private lessons, clear goal setting, and performance preparation throughout the year.

48-Week Lesson Year

Our program is built around a 48 week academic year with levelized monthly tuition for predictable billing. Some months include 3 lessons and others include 5, but monthly tuition remains consistent because it is calculated across the full year. You can view scheduled breaks on our Academy Calendar.

Why Music Matters
