Taking guitar lessons with Arden for nearly three years has been an absolute pleasure, and I can’t recommend her enough! She is patient, encouraging, and has a natural way of making every lesson fun and engaging. She truly connects with her students, keeping them excited about learning.
One of the things my daughter loves most is that Arden lets her pick songs she wants to learn, keeping her motivated and engaged. Arden’s skill and knowledge allow her to teach songs as requested, making each lesson feel personalized and exciting. Sometimes, she even sings along while teaching, which makes the learning experience even more enjoyable.
Every week, my daughter eagerly looks forward to her lesson. Arden creates such a supportive and inspiring environment that has helped her grow in both skill and confidence. If you’re looking for a guitar teacher who truly nurtures a love for music while making learning fun, Arden is the perfect choice!

Arden is the reason my daughters started their love for guitar. She was an engaging teacher and made learning fun for them. She tailored lessons to each child and was adaptive to their learning styles . Arden is an incredible musician and teacher and highly recommend her for lessons.
Alannah
Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 40
Arden was the most engaging, enthusiastic, inspirational, and positive teacher Alannah has had. As a teen, Arden was able to easily relate to Alannah and use methods and songs that appealed to her. Not only was Alannah—who comes from the least musically inclined parents—able to pick up and learn so much from Arden, she was so inspired that she started writing her own music and lyrics. Arden’s passion for music is infectious—I wish she was still in Northern California to keep going with Alannah!
Grace
Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 35
Grace was introduced to Arden over a year ago and took lessons from her for a 1 year.
Arden was incredibly patient with Grace and made her feel comfortable during lessons. Arden has a talent of explaining concepts in a way that's easy to understand. Her lessons were organized in a clear progression, building upon previous knowledge and skills. Grace learned to play real songs that she really enjoyed, which made the learning process more engaging for her. Arden creates a supportive and positive learning environment that motivated Grace to keep practicing, and loving guitar!

We’ve been taking guitar lessons for my daughter from Arden and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Arden is incredibly patient, encouraging, and skilled at making learning fun. She tailored each lesson to our daughter’s interests and skill level, keeping her engaged and excited to practice. The progress our daughter has made in just a few months is impressive, and she looks forward to each lesson. It’s been wonderful to see her confidence grow, not just in playing the guitar, but in her overall attitude toward learning. Highly recommend Arden as your music instructor to anyone looking to introduce their child to music!

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe will start by going over the different parts of the guitar, then talk about the different notes of the strings. If you don’t have any musical knowledge, don’t worry, we’ll go over some of the music theory basics here.
Lesson 11+We can delve more into various techniques, depending on what the student is interested in (fingerpicking, different styles of strumming, more difficult chords, etc. )
Lesson 4-10We will continue practicing chords and strumming and apply those to a few simple songs!
Lesson 2-3Once you understand fundamental music concepts and the notes of each string, we can start playing around with basic chords.
Youth players
Working with kidsMost of my students have been kids actually. I love turning the exercises into little games to keep their attention, as well as learning songs that the students know and enjoy. Younger students often do well in pairs since we can have little competitions between them to motivate them.
Working with teenagersI’m only 21 so I feel like I’m still pretty in touch with teens (I was one not that long ago). I think the most important thing when teaching teens is to relate to them and treat them as more a friend than a student.
