Texas Tech University String Project

The Texas Tech University String Project will hold an informational meeting for Lubbock Independent School District Students and their Parents who wish to play a stringed instrument.

The project is designed to provide opportunities for underprivileged students to receive instruction in stringed instruments at a reduced price. All instructors are music and education majors at Texas Tech.

The 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.

At the meeting students will have an opportunity to try out instruments, hear a concert and register for the program. There will also be free pizza at the event. The informational meeting will take place Tuesday, September 16, from 6-7 p.m.
