Depending on the amount of time at your disposal and the skill level you want to attain, we have programs from three months to two years in length.
Tenstrings was founded to cater to the needs of young music artistes who desire to build careers in contemporary music (Hippop, Reggae, R&B, Gospel, Jazz, Rock, Highlife, Afrobeat,etc) by equipping them with an all-encompassing music & business training. This is the reason the institute adopts what is called a dynamic curriculum (we are constantly adjusting our course contents & delivery to align with global trends in contemporary music business).
At Tenstrings, our students stand a high chance of succeeding in their career because we match training with opportunities. We work hard to give our students the experience and platform that emulates the real world they’re dreaming of launching into. Tenstrings is a home of multiple opportunities! We are the owners of other business and social enterprises such as; BuyInstruments.ng, Lagos School of Design, Naijamusic247.com, Tenstrings Music Management and Promotions Company, and many other initiatives that our students benefit from.
