String Lessons for Children and Adults in Pittsburgh

Maureen offers violin and viola lessons for students in her private home studio in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. Offering personalized instruction for students of all ages, Maureen focuses on technique, sight reading and artistry.

For young students, Maureen follows the Sassmannshaus German violin method. Children playfully learn reliable violin technique at the earliest age with fully illustrated pages featuring animals and well-known melodies.​ Note reading is introduced from the beginning, and accidentals are explained in the easiest way in the first volume. By the end of the first book, many English children's songs using all fingers have been played and note values from whole to eighth notes have been introduced. Even the easiest exercises are underlaid with text so that melodies can be perceived as a whole.

 Maureen is also a string instructor at The Music Note in Ben Avon, Pennsylvania.
