The guitar contains an infinite number of possibilities when harmonizing a melody ...so where to begin? In this live course, I'll teach you a few of my arrangements and we will analyze the chord choices, colors, lines, reharmonizations and approach to space and time. You'll leave with inspiring material to help you compose your own unique arrangements! I strongly believe the best way to learn is by DOING. New information (chords, lines, theory, etc..) "sticks" when you learn it in the context of actual music. During class, we will occasionally cover exercises/concepts, but will always follow up by playing them in an arrangement.

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!
Darren
Fantastic. I've been looking for a course like this for some time. Thanks so much Arianna!
Tony
Wonderful artist and teacher! Hoping for more content from her in the future!
Colby
This is top quality teaching. I have a degree in guitar education and have had some great mentors over the years. Arianna is as good or better than all of them in her knowledge of harmony and theory as well as personality. I highly recommend anything she does at your level.

Stop a bipolar student from monopolizing the class! I know it’s delicate and not easy to do as a teacher. I’ve been there as a teacher in another field, but honestly he took up 1/2 the hour with his musings. I would love a music discussion group but not in a lesson. Maybe he was high and not bipolar.
