Welcome to Teays Valley Strings!
Teays Valley Strings is
a non-profit
organization with a
board of advisors that
was started in January,
2006. The purpose of
this program is to give
students in Putnam
County an opportunity
to learn to play string instruments, including violins, cello and violas. There
is substantial evidence that exposure to music helps to increase intelligence,
develops better coordination skills, and enhances creativity. The Teays
Valley Strings program emphasizes learning music of other cultures and
students are provided with books containing music pieces from many
countries.
The director is a volunteer who works with the students four days a week. A
limited number of instruments are owned by West Teays Elementary School,
Teays Valley Strings, and the director. Mr. Meyer has generously donated his
time to this organization to allow our children to learn the art of playing
these instruments!
If your child is interested in music and lives in Putnam
County, West Virginia, contact us for further information.
