Description

The Texas Tech University String Project will hold “TUNE-IN!” an Informational Open House on Tuesday, September 7th in the Red Raider Lounge of the Texas Tech University Student Union Building from 4:30-7:00 p.m. for Lubbock-area 4th & 5th grade students and their families who wish to learn to play a string instrument. The String Project is designed to provide opportunities for students to receive instruction on stringed instruments at a reduced price. All instructors are music and music education majors at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Instruction is offered on five string instruments: violin, viola, cello, double bass, and harp.

Currently, the program is funded by student fees and contributions by Texas Tech University.
