UTK String Project

Founded in 2020, the University of Tennessee String Project is a program designed to teach beginning string students and develop future string teachers. Students, ages 8-10, are recruited from Knox County public schools and attend two fifty-minute string classes every week. Students learn fundamental skills on the violin, viola or cello while interacting with a diverse group of peers from across Knox County. Through this program, students have opportunities to develop self-discipline as they practice their instrument, perform in professional venues, and make friends who have similar interests.
