String Project
The String Project is a flagship program that provides affordable, carefully-structured lessons in violin and cello for children in the second-through-eighth grades, taught by the dedicated and talented School of Music undergraduate and graduate teacher trainees.
Our mission is to:
- Create a partnership by providing accessible string education and mentorship for the community and teaching experience for School of Music students who may be pursuing a career in string education
- Provide our participants with an opportunity for musical enjoyment and education through the study of stringed instruments
- Encourage the personal development of our participants by providing them with an outlet for self-expression in a structured environment
- Encourage student leadership in our participants' school music programs
- Share our accomplishments within the community, acting as a supplement to the current string programs in the school systems, or as a substitute string program for children who do not have access to a program
The String Project at Sacramento State is administered by master teachers Judy Bossuat and Tim Stanley.
