About the ISU String Project… The Illinois State University String Project began in 2001 with the support of the College of Fine Arts, the School of Music, and a major grant from the American String Teachers Association. ISU’s String Project is one of many programs modeled after the University of South Carolina-Columbia String Project, founded in 1974. There are currently forty String Project programs across the United States; ISU ‘s String Project is the only one in Illinois. String Project is dedicated to providing low-cost instruction on stringed instruments to children in the community while providing hands-on teacher training for the college assistants who work in the program. The ISU String Project was named the “2013 String Project of the Year” by the American String Teachers Association. Our students come from over thirty area grade and middle schools, representing seven school districts.
