Erin Shinderman Violin Studio

Erin Shinderman holds a B.S in Music Therapy from Duquesne University. She has performed in varied international locations such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Austria, Japan, Finland, Estonia, Russia, and the USA. Not content with just the violin, Erin began playing the piano at the age of ten, and the guitar in her studies at Duquesne University.  Most recently, Erin was a violinist for the Columbia Orchestra based in Maryland, as well as a performer for various local chamber orchestras and musical groups throughout the Baltimore region. When her husband was relocated to Pittsburgh for work, it was hard to say goodbye to all the wonderful private students and families in her Maryland studio, but she is entirely thrilled to be back in the [Murrysville] area to begin teaching here!
