Ashlen 's emphasis on pop progressions and improvisation enabled me to abandon the "box" attitude. her gradual encouragement made it feel easy, expressive, and most importantly, enjoyable to solo over actual tunes. My guitar playing was really improved by her teachings.

Taking guitar lessons with Ashlen in Gateway turned out to be a amazing experience. Initially it was not that easy but I have become completely changed by playing. Her instruction covers popular tunes adapted for guitar along with fingerpicking skills. Interestingly she even incorporated some music principles from The Beatles when she noticed my appreciation for older music. It's been an absolute joy.

Songwriting skills and guitar techniques, including open chords and capo use, have really grown for Ashlen during her Maryvale sessions.

My father, who retired at 67, was unsure about learning guitar, but Ashlen ’s gentle and encouraging teaching made her feel comfortable. she’s made incredible progress, moving from awkwardly playing basic chords to performing full songs at family gatherings. This journey has truly impacted her and our entire family.

Ashlen ’s classical guitar lessons in Old Northside provided structure to a young student transitioning from piano to guitar. The 10-year-old quickly mastered tremolo and arpeggio techniques, all thanks to Ashlen ’s focused and methodical teaching.

Even in a creative neighborhood like Melrose Hill, I struggled to find a teacher who focused on musicality rather than just mechanics. Ashlen de Armero completely changed my mindset. Ashlen ’s lessons emphasized expression, and within a few months, I had the confidence to post my first complete guitar performance online.
