The UTSA String Project is a member of The National String Project Consortium, which was created in 1998 by the American String Teachers Association to help alleviate the string teacher shortage and to promote string education in public schools.

The UTSA String project provides university music education majors the opportunity to develop skills needed to become successful artist teachers. Of course, a primary benefit of the String Project is to offer beginning through advanced level music instruction to community students at the Main UTSA campus on string instruments and classical guitar.

Because of the extraordinarily low tuition cost (about 4 dollars per class), the String Project does not usually offer scholarships. If you wish to apply for some financial assistance, please contact Majah.acton@utsa.edu

Thank you.
