About Ilenia
I've been playing guitar for 18 years. I studied in a prestigious Academy of Modern Music in Italy and I have been teaching classical, acoustic and electric guitar for more than 10 years from basic to advanced level to people of all ages. I have also taught ukulele for beginners in several schools in the Vancouver area for "Ukulele Kids" (the North America's most popular Lunch and After School Program).

Ilenia is super cool and is flexible with your schedule. She is very structured and allows you to progress at your own pace. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn the ukulele. You’ll have lots of fun!
I have only played guitar for the past year and I feel that I have made tremendous progress as a result of Ilenia’s teaching methods. She has introduced me to playing chords with some enjoyable popular music. This has made learning to play a guitar a fun and enjoyable experience. Ilenia is easy to work with and provides good feedback.
Ilenia is an amazing teacher. She is very patient and sweet. I have been learning ukulele with her for the past few months and i am very happy with her teaching style.
I would totally recommend her.Ilenia is always punctual and prepared for our lessons! She gives great song assignments that are both fun and skill based, and explains things in a clear and kind manner. I came into her lessons with a bit of prior guitar experience, and have felt so much improvement in a short period of time! I would highly recommend her for lessons, whatever your current skill level may be :)
Ilenia is wonderful - I highly recommend her. I've been taking lessons for several months now and I've learned so much. She has a great teaching method. She's patient and encouraging. If you're looking for a guitar teacher, she's a fantastic choice.
Ilenia is patient, kind and encouraging! She's very skilled at playing the guitar and will teach you the right techniques. Although I would like her to teach more basic music theory like reading guitar tabs, music notation and other guitar knowledge.
I began taking guitar lessons from Ilenia in February 2020; I was a true beginner and can now play a multitude of songs and am thoroughly enjoying having music as a part of my life.
Ilenia is a very talented musician and a patient and knowledgeable instructor. She is organized and has a well-structured lesson plan but always open to adding song requests to the list and her style is to go at the student's pace. I would recommend Ilenia to anyone looking to learn or improve their guitar skills!
As further testament, we have managed to continue our lessons even though I now live in Australia (and the time change is not always easy to navigate)!Ilenia has been my sons guitar teacher for the past year. He has really enjoyed having her as his teacher, she makes it fun for him and is also very patient. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn guitar!
I am an adult learning to play the ukulele. When I have a lesson with Ilenia, I appreciate her kindness and patience. She makes learning the ukulele very enjoyable.
Ilenia is an amazing guitar tutor! Our son enjoys her lessons and looks forward to them each week. She is very patient and has introduced new concepts at a pace appropriate to our child's ability. I'd highly recommend Ilenia.
Ilenia is an amazing music instructor and I would not hesitate to recommend her. Gary J.
Ilenia has been incredibly patient and fun to work with. She has made the learning pace appropriate for me and my husband and has been super flexible in working with our constraints.
Very patient and understanding tutor. Since taking lessons, I significantly improved my chords and my strumming. She knows exactly what songs to teach you to take you to the next level. Highly recommended!
My Daughter (8) has been getting lessons from Ilenia for half a year now and She can’t be more excited about playing guitar. Her progress has been tremendous and I would recommend Ilenia to anyone looking to start their child in guitar lessons. Her lessons are thorough and lots of fun ;)
I rarely come across real talents who stand out like Ilenia.
She is a very patience and experienced guitar teacher. I love her teaching style: I have a lot of fun and I’m always learning something new. She knows everyone is different so she will try different approaches until the light bulb turns on in your head! I’ve never met an instructor so enthusiastic about your improvement. What I like the most is her passion about music. The way she listens to it and catch all the little variations.
She is very flexible and she always try to adjust her schedule to my crazy work schedule.
The first time we met, two years ago, she asked me what was my goal. I said that I just wanted to learn how to play guitar. Well, we are way beyond that now!
Ilenia earns my highest recommendation. She is a very professional and thoughtful teacher as well as an exceptional human being.The best guitar teacher you can ask for. Her classes are always super fun and you get to start jamming with songs right away. Her method of teaching is such that you learn something interesting and new every week.
ilenia is a great guitar teacher. she is very patient and thorough when explaining technical details. would definitely recommend everybody to take a lessons with her!
Ilenia has done a great job of breaking down songs into small guitar skills and steps that my seven year old can practise one at a time.
I’ve been taking lessons with Ilenia for almost a year, she’s vey patient, knowledgeable and experienced. She is a great instructor and I would recommend her to anyone looking for lessons!
Ilenia is simply an amazing teacher! She is very knowledgeable, and customizes the contents of her classes according to the student's needs and skills. She is extremely patient and ensures that the student has completely learned the song/skill before moving to the next subject. I very strongly recommend her to anyone who wishes to master playing the guitar.
