The String Project

The YSU String Project offers free private lessons on violin, viola, cello, and bass to children in the greater Youngstown area. Students enrolled in the program may also register for chamber music, orchestra, and technique classes, which occur on Saturdays and are taught by graduate and undergraduate string majors in the Dana School of Music.

The project seeks to train the next generation of young artists, simultaneously serving area children and training college students in excellent education practices through faculty supervision. The String Project forms the first professional string-instrument training ground of its kind in the city of Youngstown.
