"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!
