TTU String Project: New Beginner Adult Open House, RESCHEDULED Tues. Jan 31st!

Are you an adult (or know an adult!) that has always wanted to learn to play the violin, viola, cello, or double bass?! The Texas Tech University String Project OFFERS BEGINNER ADULT STRING INSTRUMENT CLASSES! Now's your chance!


We will be holding an OPEN HOUSE on Tuesday, January 31st from 5:30-7:00 p.m. at the Lubbock Room in the TTU Student Union Building. Help us spread the word! And see our website for more information: http://musicstringproject.wixsite.com/texastech


The TTU String Project is designed to provide opportunities for youth and adults to receive instruction on stringed instruments at a reduced price. All instructors are music and music education majors at the undergraduate, graduate, and faculty levels. Instruction is offered on four string instruments: violin, viola, cello, and double bass.


At the open house, you will have the opportunity to try out instruments, get sized on your preferred instrument, gather information about renting an instrument from local music stores, receive information about other materials you will need for class, meet the teachers, ask further questions, and register for classes!


The Texas Tech University String Project was established in 2001 in part with the National String Project Consortium and the American String Teachers Association. The program was initially funded by a three-year grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education with matching contributions from Texas Tech. Now, the program is funded by student fees and contributions by Texas Tech University. We were recognized as the Most Outstanding National String Project Consortium site by the American String Teachers Association in 2020.


Registration for the Spring 2023 classes can be completed online at our website (http://musicstringproject.wixsite.com/texastech) and MUST BE COMPLETED by Friday, February 3rd. Tuition is $135.00 or $160.00 for the semester and includes instruction in group class two days a week, one to three private lessons (you choose your option), and the official TTU String Project t-shirt! Payment is due by the first day of class (online store or in person with cash or check).
