String Theory Music Lessons, Roanoke

In 2003, String Theory’s owner and primary instructor, Luke Currie, earned a bachelor of arts degree in film scoring from Boston’s Berklee College of Music. His knack for arranging notes and effectively setting the tone of movie scenes later earned him a residency at the Performing Arts Institute of Virginia, where he further honed his skills in composition. By 2009, Currie’s growing passion for teaching music prompted him to open String Theory Music Lessons, an informal institute for aspiring musicians of all ages and skill levels to learn how to compose melodies, sight-read chord charts, and stimulate plant growth using their guitars, basses, or other instruments.
