For over 40 years, Karen Hedges and her husband have owned and operated Shiloh Music Center. Throughout that time, Karen, an accomplished musician, pianist, and teacher has taught multiple generations of children about piano, music theory and a little bit of life on the side.

Her guiding principle is to instill a life-long love of music within each child that comes through the door. A proud mother of two boys who are also part of the lifeblood of Shiloh, Karen met her husband when she ordered a James Taylor songbook from him at the store over 40 years ago.

She lives in the Mount Juliet area and is an active member of her local church as well as a member and officer of several local and national music societies.

When George Hedges opened Shiloh Music in 1974, he was carrying on a musical tradition that began with his father and has now passed along to George’s sons and grandsons, not to mention the 450 kids who take lessons at Shiloh throughout the year.

Over Shiloh’s existence, George has worn every hat from the manager, salesman, repair-man, janitor, President, and CEO. Today, the accomplished luthier continues to oversee one of the area’s most robust musical inventories, meticulous and proficient repair and service department, as well as the teaching program, which, under the guise of his brilliant wife, Karen, is one of the largest providers of music education in the Mount Juliet region.

Committed to servicing every customer and treating them like family above all else, George is the heart and soul of what has become an indelible fixture in the Wilson County area and beyond.
