Communications
Throughout the year, new and returning String Project students and their parents/guardians receive information about the program through email or verbal instruction. We communicate weekly mass emails via CHARMS. If you are not receiving these emails, please contact the string project office at string_project@mail.music.utexas.edu.
Students and parents/guardians receive email about the following topics:
- Instrument rental: The Instrument Steward (Melody Lihou) sends email to inform students/parents about how, when, and where to rent, exchange, or return instruments.
- Payment: The Program Coordinator (Dr. Ruben Balboa) will send email about payment.
- Weekly schedules and special events: The Program Coordinator sends email each week with information about upcoming events, parking, and class schedules.
- You can always reach us by emailing string_project@mail.music.utexas.edu.
