The Illinois State University String Project will host an information night for families with third- and fourth-grade students interested in learning a string instrument (violin, viola, cello, double bass) at 6:30 p.m. September 15 in Cook Hall, room 308.
The award-winning Illinois State University String Project is an after-school music program that offers low-cost instruction on stringed instruments to children in the community. The program supports existing public school string programs and provides a string education to children who are homeschooled or enrolled in schools where no string program is available. The String Project also provides valuable teacher training experience for ISU’s string majors who serve as teaching assistants.
Children are encouraged to attend the September 15 information night with their parents. Info Night will include details about the program, scholarship opportunities, renting instruments, and allow time for children to try out all the instruments.
Additional information about the ISU String Project is available on the Wonsook Kim College of Fine Arts website and on the String Project Facebook page. Further questions about the program or Information Night can be directed to Dr. Kate Lewis.
