Play Guitar at Valley Glen Community Park

My journey with the guitar began at 8, launching into private lessons soon after. Auditioning for and attending the Orange County School of the Arts Guitar program from 7th to 12th grade expanded my musical horizons, training me in classical, flamenco, jazz, and studio engineering using Logic Pro X and Protools. Beyond school performances at renowned venues like Disneyland, House of Blues, and jazz festivals, I delved into the LA punk scene and various local gigs. With four years of teaching experience at Guitar Center, I've instructed students of all ages and levels, embracing diverse styles and adapting to group dynamics. Teaching extends beyond the norm for me; I've worked with children and adults with special needs, aiming to make music accessible and enjoyable for everyone. With a passion for playing and teaching, music has been a constant and significant part of my life, shaping my journey into a harmonious blend of artistic exploration and education.

"Marlin was great! He was professional, patient, friendly and explained everything clearly. I highly recommend him!

Devoting time with CoachArt, I've had the privilege to teach underprivileged families and children, delivering transformative lessons via Zoom. Beyond structured sessions, I've extended my reach, providing valuable instruction to friends and families, spreading the joy of learning and the power of connection. Through volunteerism and mentorship, I aim to uplift communities, one lesson at a time, nurturing bright futures with every click of the virtual classroom.

"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!
