Website currently under development, for immediate assistance please email: Nikkita.starr@gmail.com
Starr music is dedicated to helping students build confidence, creativity, and lifelong skills through music.
From first lessons to advanced performers, we’re here to help every student shine.
Who We Are
We’re a team of passionate musicians, educators and performers who believe creativity should feel joyful, welcoming and stress-free.
Previously known as Arioso Music Academy founded in 2019, Nikkita was a part of Arioso Music Academy since 2021 and began ownership in June 2026. She is honored and excited to continue building upon the foundation that has been created, while bringing fresh energy, ideas, creativity and passion to the music community. Her mission: to provide a welcoming space where students of all ages can learn, grow, and discover their love for music.
Nikkita looks forward to continuing to offer the area quality music lessons, talented instructors, and a community where families can feel connected and inspired.
Always Accepting New Students
We’re always accepting new students, so there’s never a “right” time to get started, and there’s never a “right” age, either!
Whether you’re 5 or 95, the best time to begin is when you feel ready. Even for our youngest musicians (typically under age 6), success comes just as much from a parent’s encouragement and commitment as it does from the lessons themselves.
Getting started is easy! Simply create an account through our online scheduling system to browse lesson availability, book classes, and manage your schedule from anywhere.
Life gets busy, which is why we’ve made rescheduling and makeup lessons as flexible and hassle-free as possible. Need to make a change, mark an absence, reschedule? You can do it all right from your online account in just a few clicks.
Not sure if music lessons are the right fit? We’d love to meet you! Schedule a free introductory lesson to get to know your instructor, tour the studio, and see what we’re all about. Or, if you’re excited to jump right into learning, you can skip the intro lesson and book your first regular lesson to begin your musical journey right away.
We can’t wait to help you discover your love of music! 🎵
