Texas Tech University String Project

 

Registration for Fall 2025 is now open for Youth and Adult students!

The TTU String Project takes a laboratory school approach for elementary children (typically entering the 4th grade) and adults interested in playing one of the five orchestral instruments – violin, viola, cello, double bass and harp.

Adult students attend once a week and children attend group classes twice each week at the School of Music on the Texas Tech campus or on one of our community partner elementary schools.
