One great success story centers on a little girl in 2nd grade who plays violin in our project. She was really struggling in school, so her mother was going to take her out of the project. However, her mother saw that the string Project was really helping her daughter with discipline and focus and that participating in the String Project at UTEP made her daughter really happy. For this reason, her mother left her in the project and I am pleased to report that she is flourishing in school and music!

The University of South Carolina String Project, now in its 44thyear, has won national recognition, including the Verner Award and a documentary on South Carolina ETV celebrating the 20th anniversary of the program. When the University of South Carolina String Project was founded in 1974 there was just one small string program in the Columbia metropolitan area. Now all five school districts in the Columbia area have large and active string programs, with orchestras in every high school and six regional youth orchestras.
