The String Academy of Wisconsin at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee offers a unique educational experience for students ages four to eighteen to study the violin, viola and cello. The Academy provides a broad program of musical instruction by highly qualified artist faculty specially trained in and dedicated to the education of young people. The range of achievement of the students runs from the beginning stages through the highest levels of artistry.

An important aspect of a young student's training is the presence, support and encouragement of a parent, individual and group lessons and in daily practice. As the student advances, the lesson times are expanded and theory, history, master classes and chamber music are added to the curriculum.

The String Academy admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities it offers. It does not discriminate in the administration of its educational and admissions policies, scholarships, loans, or other programs.

As part of the learning experience, attendance of concerts is encouraged.
