Arianna‘s class is amazing and highly recommended if you want to further guitar playing exploration. Every class was extremely well thought out, always engaging, and had great cohesion of concepts throughout every class. It’s more reminiscent of a Music Conservatory Masterclass than your typical basic online class!
Arianna definitely has this great way of teaching; I have learned so much from her. She is totally recommended!
Fantastic. I've been looking for a course like this for some time. Thanks so much Arianna!
Wonderful artist and teacher! Hoping for more content from her in the future!
