About Lindbergh String Project

Welcome to the Lindbergh String Project! Our mission is to provide accessible, quality instruction to younger students in the Lindbergh Strings program, while giving LHS Orchestra students the opportunity to gain teaching experience within a structured environment. Our String Project teachers have completed a multi-part teacher training course, and undergone a rigorous application process which included a written exam, audition, interview, and submission of various professional artifacts. Teachers will meet regularly throughout the semester under the supervision of Mrs. Landers (LHS Orchestra Director), for feedback and guidance. The String Project will host masterclasses and recitals each semester, where students will be given the opportunity to perform in a formal setting for friends, family, and other LSP participants.

Please note that a parent/guardian must be present during lessons.

Featured Courses

  • Jessica Wheatley: Viola

    Teaching Philosophy: In addition to improving musical technique, I believe that music education exists to provide students with an opportunity to express themselves in a positive and creative way. Music can also broaden world understanding, and equip students with resources to further their future careers and lives. I feel that an instrument should be an extension of the musician, something regarded with love and joy. As an instructor, I will guide my students in their journey of growth and nurture the happiness and satisfaction that comes with making music.
