About Us

Our Music Director: Scott Scheetz

Scott Scheetz began playing piano at age three and realized soon after that music was his greatest passion in life. In middle school, he started organ lessons, and gained recognition in his hometown of Aiken, SC, as a lounge pianist specializing in the music of Billy Joel. Scott completed his Bachelor of Music in Organ Performance at the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University, and a Master of Sacred Music with a focus in Organ Performance at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University. Scott has served in organist, choirmaster, and music director positions for over 15 years in both liturgical and non-liturgical congregations, encompassing a variety of denominations and worship styles. He is currently serving as Director of Music Ministries and Organist at First Presbyterian Church in Knoxville. In addition to piano and organ, Scott plays percussion, guitar, bass guitar, baroque recorder, and works as an automotive, portrait, wedding, and event photographer. In his spare time he enjoys working on cars, repairing pinball machines and vintage electronics, and rebuilding keyboard instruments.

Greater Knoxville Recorder Society: 30 Years Old!

At our first meeting in September of 1995, there were all of two (but very enthusiastic) people attending.  We are an official chapter of the American Recorder Society. We've grown, but there's always room for more recorder players and other aficionados of early music. Join us!
