String Project
The String Project is a flagship program that provides affordable, carefully-structured lessons in violin and cello for children in the 4th through 10th 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.
