ABOUT
When Ariana was 9 years old, she stumbled across a YouTube page with a young, curly blonde haired girl. She was playing guitar and singing a song that she wrote. Spoiler alert, it was Taylor Swift! An avid singer, that was the moment Ariana decided she wanted to learn to play the guitar.
After years of practice, lessons, and a degree or two, Ariana discovered a passion for teaching other children to love music as much (or more!) as she does. Pave Creative: Music, Arts & Theatre was born to instill a passion for music and arts that will last a lifetime.
IT ALL STARTED WITH A GUITAR
Hi! I'm Ariana, the founder of Pave Creative. My hope and dream is to give every person an outlet to put their creativity into this world. I truly believe that our community, and quality of life will thrive with more artists in the world. And that begins here.
