String Project

The University of Georgia String Project is part of the American String Project Consortium sponsored by the American String Teachers Association. The Consortium was initiated to assist universities in strengthening teacher education programs. The String Project provides practical hands-on training for undergraduate music education majors.

The mission of the University of Georgia String Project is to:

• Provide accessible string education and mentorship for elementary students, and teaching experience for University of Georgia music education students.
• Provide elementary students with an opportunity for musical enjoyment and education through the study of string instruments.
• Encourage personal development of students by providing an outlet for self-expression within a structured environment.
• Encourage student leadership in school orchestras.
