About Tenstrings
Tenstrings Music Institute is the largest music school in Nigeria, with campuses in Ikeja, Lekki/Ajah, Agege, Festac Town, Port Harcourt, and Abuja, with plans to open more campuses in other major towns across the country. Tenstrings has trained over 20,000 students from 21 countries over a period of 15 years.
Tenstrings is duly registered and accredited by the appropriate government agencies in Nigeria and is affiliated with several reputable universities around the world. We are also incorporated in the UK and operating there as “Africa Heritage Academy UK Ltd.”
Our programs cover three specific areas: Music Performance, Music Production, and Music Management. We have over ten different courses in these three key areas spanning different durations and depths. Depending on the amount of time at your disposal and the skill level you want to attain, we have programs ranging from three months to two years in length.
Tenstrings was founded to cater to the needs of young music artists who desire to build careers in contemporary music (Hip-hop, Reggae, R&B, Gospel, Jazz, Rock, Highlife, Afrobeat, etc.) by equipping them with all-encompassing music and business training. This is the reason the institute adopts what is called a dynamic curriculum (we are constantly adjusting our course contents and delivery to align with global trends in the contemporary music business).
At Tenstrings, our students stand a high chance of succeeding in their careers because we match training with opportunities. We work hard to give our students the experience and platform that emulate the real world they’re dreaming of launching into. Tenstrings is a home of multiple opportunities! We own other business and social enterprises such as the International College of Creative Arts (ICCA), Lagos School of Design, Naijamusic247.com, Tenstrings Music Records and Tours Limited, and many other initiatives that our students benefit from.
