The South Georgia String Project has been a wonderful opportunity for our family. As parents of a boy and a girl, it can prove challenging to take both children to different gender preferred activities. Being employed full time means we have very limited free time for activities other than the children’s school, and being able to take our children to violin lessons has been the perfect option for us. They learn to love a style of music that many young people don’t have an appreciation for, the group lessons allow them to interact with other children similar in age who share this interest, and the affordable cost of the program allows people with average incomes like us to enroll their children in these classes which otherwise they would have likely not been able to afford. Thank you for supporting this program, it truly does make a difference in our community.

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.
