- The University of Texas at El Paso String Project is a fantastic music program that offers low-cost instruction on stringed instruments (violin, viola and cello) to children in 1st through 8th grade.
- Participants in the program meet for ensemble practice sessions with the Master Teacher, UTEP faculty, and UTEP string music majors every Saturday morning from 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM and some weekday sessions as well. The String Project at UTEP follows the UTEP academic calendar.
- Participants in the String Project will take weekly lessons with an assigned Teaching Assistant and participate in a weekly group class / ensemble practice.
- The String Project at UTEP is designed to bring the joy of playing music and learning an instrument to children earlier than they may be exposed to it in a school environment.
- The String Project at UTEP is thankful for the support offered by the NAMM Foundation, the National String Project Consortium (NSPC), and UTEP.
