27. Interview with Jennifer Wiggin, KidStringsBox.com

A native Texan, Jennifer Wiggin received her
Bachelors in Music degree in Viola Performance from Texas
Christian University, and her Masters in Music degree in Viola
Performance at Indiana University. She went on to obtain her
Masters in Business Administration with a concentration in
marketing from the University of Southern California.  For
the next dozen years she pivoted into a career in marketing and
communications, focusing in the education and arts sectors. She
was head of marketing and communications for the New World
Symphony in Miami, the Thornton School of Music at the University
of Southern California, Children's Museum of Atlanta, The
Galloway School, and Atlanta Opera.  


Bitten by the entrepreneurial bug in 2016, Jennifer founded
Buckhead Strings, bringing beginner- to intermediate-level
afterschool & summer camp strings programs to elementary
schools in the Atlanta area. In December 2020, she founded
KidStrings Box, the first ever subscription box created just for
kids who play strings.  She established and currently leads
the strings program at Atlanta Classical Academy, and has a full
private violin and viola studio in Buckhead. In her spare time,
she enjoys time with her two teenage children, traveling as much
as possible, and walks with her rescue pup, Charlie.
