Starkville Homeschool Music Cooperative (SHMC) is a Christian homeschool cooperative established in 2006 and dedicated to promoting the performing arts for students in the greater Starkville community.

Our purpose is to glorify God through music.  To this end, we offer an excellent corporate learning environment that provides quality instruction, outlets for creative activities, public performances, and community service by fostering a sustainable course of musical study along a continuum from kindergarten through high school. In order to achieve this goal, student and parent members are encouraged to contribute talents and resources for the greater good of the cooperative.  We welcome students of all faiths.

All choirs will meet at First Baptist Church of Starkville.  All bands will meet at the Mississippi State University’s band hall.

We endeavor to keep our tuition cost low. To do this, we usually try to do one fundraiser per year, and we welcome sponsors. Our sponsors enable us to provide quality education for the Starkville area homeschool community. Sponsors will be featured on the website and mentioned in the semester showcase program.
