We've been focusing on guitar skills such as creating emotional arcs within improvisation, and it's been really thrilling. Arias-MacKenzie also records our practice sessions to help me later if i get stuck somewhere!

Arias-MacKenzie has been a fantastic motivator for young learners in Jack Britt. My 9 year old loves strumming along to classic country songs, all thanks to her encouragement.
