ETYO…Where Musical Dreams Come True!
Inspiring our musicians through the performing arts is at the heart of what we do.
“Learning to play the violin is my favorite thing. I’d rather be at violin club than anywhere else!”

Come join our newest
ETYO Strings Club!!
For 90 minutes, students are immersed in basic music theory and then a group lesson learning to play the violin. Parents join the group for the last 15 minutes of instruction, learning posture, positions and technique so they can help their child make progress during the week.
Our staff is comprised of the area’s leading educators and music professionals.
Club members join together with other Strings Clubs students for combined performances on ETYO concerts.
This latest Strings Club will meet Sundays, from 2:30-4:00PM
at UT Tyler’s Center for Musical Arts. (the official home of ETYO!)
The club is open to any East Texas 4th-6th grade student.
There is no cost to participating families. Grants enable us to provide each student with:
* a violin
* all the materials
* a club t-shirt
The club starts Sunday, January 11, 2026
