"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!

"David is unlike any guitar teacher I have worked with. He pays close attention to details like finger placement of guitar hold and listens carefully to correct any bad habits, posture, or form. Sometimes you are used to playing a certain way and don't notice some bad form or habits and he's able to diagnose sound issues. David is also great at being encouraging and suggesting ways of playing that makes sense for each song. He customizes the lesson so that you feel good about playing. He makes playing really fun and what seemed hard before, he helps to make it easy. He helps you feel like a rockstar after a few lessons. I highly recommend David!
