Welcome

The University of Georgia String project is a crucial aspect of the Hodgson School's community outreach. The UGA String Project began in 2001 with a grant from the National String Project Consortium, and is designed to provide teaching experience for UGA music education students while providing affordable string education for elementary and middle school-aged children. 

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 elementary students by providing an outlet for self-expression within a structured environment.
• Provide middle school orchestras with experienced student players who can take a leadership role and help the middle school string programs grow.

You can support the UGA String Project and its students by donating to the UGA String Project Fund
