The Pacific University String Project is a partnership between college students learning how to teach and school-aged students learning how to play string instruments. Through this partnership, the preparation of string teachers is improved while the number of young string players is increased, both positively affecting the quality of available educational opportunities in the community.

Students in second through 12th grade learn how to play string instruments, including the violin, viola, cello, and double bass, from our teachers-in-preparation and our master teacher. Students receive instruction in small and large virtual group classes, orchestras, and/or in semi-individual and individual lessons. Each group will meet for two 50-minute classes each week for 12 weeks and will enable students to progress from beginning to intermediate and advanced levels of playing. Each semester will culminate with an online performance for each group.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Dr. Dijana Ihas. Please CC our faculty and Student Administrative Assistant, Sanne Cai.
