UT San Antonio String Project
The UT San Antonio 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 UT San Antonio 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.
Music Summer Camps
UT San Antonio String Project provide an opportunity for thousands of young musicians from across Texas and the nation to experience the outstanding level of instruction offered by UT San Antonio Music faculty and distinguished alumni.

Supervised by UT San Antonio students, faculty, and alumni – campers are taught each day by outstanding public-school educators from around our state and by our own world-class faculty.
