About the WSU String Project

The WSU Department of Music offers up to five teaching internships each year for undergraduate string players majoring in music education or performance.  Interns teach class lessons in their major instrument, perform in recruiting and outreach concerts, and learn about all aspects of string pedagogy under the guidance of a master teacher.                                                                                                                                                                   
String Project internships require approximately 11 hours of supervised teaching and preparation time each week during the academic year.  Classes are held in Old Main on Tuesday evenings after school hours and on Saturday mornings, with an additional seminar meeting one afternoon a week.  String Project interns receive a stipend of $3,000. 

String Project @ Wayne is a member of the National String Project Consortium, and has been funded by grants from the WSU Office of the Vice President for Research and the NAMM Foundation. For more about String Project@Wayne, click here.
